With whom do you bank?

Ideal08 · #1 12-14-2003, 11:49 AM

Me and a soror were talking last night and began to wonder what banks were on the west coast. We realize that banking is (for the most part) regional, so I figured I'd ask my GCers. So who do you bank with?

I bank with Bank of America, and I think that if you're going to call it Bank of AMERICA, it needs to be all over America. I hate every time I go to Ohio I have pay fees to withdraw money.

I bank with US Bank...I have to agree with Ideal08 on the Bank of America thing....US Bank is not all over the US either!!

Work for Bank of America . . .headquarters in Charlotte. . . I have a feeling that it really will become BOA in the next 10 years.

I bank with First Charter. It is only found in the immediate Charlotte area, but it really is FREEEEEEE BANKING!!!

Been with BofA since 1995, when I was in Nevada. Back when I lived in Charlotte 10 years ago, I was with NationsBank. My cousin in Charlotte is a BofA VP or such. Also, I was with First Tennessee when I was in K-town (Knoxville) and Home Federal/Washington Mutual.

NationsBank merged or whatnot with Bank of America. (oh how my brain is filled with 1000s of BOA facts, statistics, and other HR related tidbits for BOA employees.)

I bank with Community Credit Union here in Dallas. I think it is only here in Texas.

I'm trying to switch to Washington Mutual, but they refuse to take my money. If you have ever read the Broke Diaries, I'm kind of going thur the same ChexSystem deal like Angela.

They have Bank of America on the East coast. It must only be the midwest that gets neglected.

I bank at Fleet and the Rutgers Credit Union (great CD rates). Most people I know bank at two places.

I bank with Bank of America. DH banks with the Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank). It is cool because BOA and Scotiabank have an agreement. I can withdraw money at his atm and vice versa without fees! I thought it was cool to see a BOA in downtown Toronto when I was there. Since we live so close to the US border, it is about a 15 minute drive for me to cross into the US to get to the nearest BOA (Blaine, WA)

If and when we move back to the US (man I hope so), he will most likely bank at BOA or Washington Mutual

My primary accounts are with Wachovia. There are several regional banks and credit unions across the country that have some of my money. Diversity is key.

I bank with a credit union thats for CIA employees/contractors and their families... I haven't found a bank that can give me all the perks that I get there... also doesnt hurt that my mom works there either

Diva_01 · #13 12-14-2003, 03:56 PM

I bank with my teachers credit union, however I still have my accounts with Wells Fargo who is located on the west coast. Hwever I live in Texas and they are here. When I was in college in Lousiana there were no Wells Fargos.

The Wells Fargo locations in Texas used to be Kelly Field Banks. This was a bank that was affiliated with Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio. When the base closed, Wells Fargo came in.
