Bank of America to charge $5 monthly debit card fee

[PeppyGPhiB]

I've been with a CU since I was 17. I don't know why anyone would bank with a "bank." I always hear people talk about ATMs that are accessible - I can't remember the last time I used an ATM (I always pull cash at the grocery store if I need it), and CUs let their members use other CU ATMs without a fee. My CU doesn't charge me for anything, they have the best rates around, and they have terrific (and local!) phone customer service (plus branches).

I also HATE the condescending ad campaigns by Chase and BofA that run in this area. "Now you have a good bank in the area" and "Check out our fancy ATMs!" ads that just make them sound ridiculous, arrogant and ignorant.
