Was watching a report that talked about banks starting to charge a $3 or $5 fee if you use your debit card at any point in the month.
I use USAA Bank online (everyone is eligible) it is GREAT. Once you realize that you can scan (or sometime take a picture of your check) to deposit it, you don't need your local bank ever again.
I bank with USAA also. I can deposit checks using my phone. They recently opened some financial centers outlets in the San Diego County, which helps out.Quote:

Oh, and what is this "check" thing you speak of?
Bank of America got rid of their no strings attached free checking account. Now it is something like $12 a month or you can switch to an "online only" account, which is free but if you use a bank teller for any transaction you incur the $12 fee for that month. Weird stipulations. I was able to have them return the first $12 charge to my account though, so so far I have not had to pay them any green.
I have used ING Direct in the past and been quite pleased with them. Now we use a credit union exclusively (our second one) and can't imagine going back to a traditional bank.
Another satisfied USAA bank customer here, in USAA's hometown. I've visited the mothership branch a few times and waited in the long drive-thru lines there. I love getting those ATM fees rebated each month!
I've had much better luck doing mobile deposits from my iPad than from my Android phone, FWIW.
What's a "teller"?
The machine you use at the Casino, after you have dropped $400.Quote:

Not only no fees with USAA, but if you get charged for an ATM, they put that money back in your account. (I think it's limited to $15 a month)
Comes in handy at the casino where they charge you $4.00 plus in fees.Quote:
