Chase

Staff

Chase is an ok bank. I've used it for the past 9 years, mostly because they have the most ATMs in NYC. However, they are definitely not the most competitive on rates for savings or interest rates on loans, so I go elsewhere for that stuff. Their online interface is pretty good, although sometimes confusing to set up automatic payments. They do love to charge you with hidden fees though! I …signed up for wesabe.com and Chase started charging me $9.95 a month for the data feed sent to Wesabe. Needless to say, I canceled my wesabe account right away. The same would hold true for Quicken users. Not all banks charge for this data feed, but Chase is one of them.

As a non New Yorker who has Chase, I struggle to find ATMs (even though I have a branch 2 blocks from my apartment in semi-urban wisconsin) for Chase in Milwaukee. I would suggest the credit for moderate spenders, but use an online savings account (from someone else) for the majority of your money.

Chase has been my bank of choice for the past 8 years in New York City. Flexible network of ATMs, branch locations, and solid customer service (both in person & via telephone) have kept me satisfied over time. Couple the interactive ease of their website for Checking, Savings, & wire transfers and you have a winner.
