It is always advisable to spread your funds over 3 or 4 different banks. This way you will find out that they all offer different services at a different price. BoA has a few advantages when you travel as it allows free withdrawals at ATMs of the Glabal Alliance network, i.e. no fees to withdraw cash in a few EU countries at Deutsche Bank. There are some other things you can do with them that Wachovia can not do, etc. I am pretty happy with 3 US banks, one of them Wachovia, the other BoA and the third a smaller regional bank from the Southern states. If you do a lot of international transactions, try HSBC. They are a true international bank and will save you a lot of money on wire fees, etc. That's all I can say.
