Exactly.

Look at your local/area/regional credit unions. You are treated much better, and not nickel and dimed to death.

National City had my business for 10 years. But they kept tacking on these bullshit fees, and all of a sudden I have to spend time policing all my accounts. From business, partnership, and personal. Plus it's like pulling teeth to get anything out of the norm.

I switch to the credit union, and once had been there I bit. I was approved for every loan, refinance, etc. Plus I am not nickel and dimed. Their fees are less. My direct deposits, and ACH come in like they should. Not get held for an extra day/weekend, etc.

Oh, and when I DID have an issue at the credit union. I wrote their VP, they fixed the issue, sent me a letter, called me, and gave me a $100 Meijer gift card. Good luck getting shit from a bigger bank.
