Re: All a formality At least banking has competition. Big banks have the advantage of convenience but small banks have better service. I left TD Bank for a local bank because TD Bank had a data breach and they got too high on fees. As most of my purchases are on my debit card. I can count on less than one hand the number of times I've used an ATM in a given month and if I need cash I'll go to the supermarket or CVS and I'll buy a soda and get cash back. Most ATMs around here get $3.50 to pull money out but getting cash back costs nothing minus the cost of the soda or candy bar that you have to purchase for the privilege of getting cash back.
Back in the good old days the state of Iowa had a ban on ATM terminal fees and I think non bank ATMs were banned in Iowa as well.

I've experienced ImOn (when they were McLeod USA), Mediacom, Comcast, and Time Warner and I currently have DirecTV. They are much better than broadcast TV.
I have not and will not cut the cord. |
| Big banks aren't even convenient anymore. The vast majority of credit unions have partnered up into the Coop network. This means almost all CU ATMs and every 7 Eleven ATM around the US are fee free. If you add it up, Coop dwarfs the size of BofA's, Chase's, or Wells Fargo's ATM networks. Many of them offer shared branching too in case you need to physically go in. |
