Better Banking Checking
from Chase

My card was stolen but Chase notified me immediately and I was fully reimbursed for the fraudulent charges. I really enjoy the online bill paying which is associated with having a Chase account, plus I get rewarded simply for keeping money in my account with interest on it, something I've never found in a standard checking account.

I started with Manufacturer's Hanover and rode the M&A wave via Chemical Bank to Chase. For a long time I had free checking simply because I started out at MH with it. Eventually Chase figured out that I didn't maintain a high enough monthly balance and I began paying fees. When that happened my satisfaction with the account dropped considerably. Later my car loan was also through Chase and the… fees went away again, but once I pay that down low enough that they charge me fees, I'm closing this account for good.

I liked the online banking pretty well until I opened an account several months ago with Wachovia; Wachovia's online banking application is much better and more intuitive.
