Looking to start a checking account. My online interest checking account under Centura (previously SFNB) is charging $20 a month for banlances less than $2500 which I feel is pretty outrageous especially since I was enjoying free checking under SFNB. Anyways I was wondering if there were any banks you would suggest. I'm looking for
Free checking with a low min. balance (if possible) [edit] poor college student so my balances hover ~$1000. [/edit]
Good free customer service
A good interest rate would be a plus but low cost is more of a concern
I don't mind online banks, at least I had a good experience under SFNB. I did a search and someone suggested pcbanker.com (aka American Bank) which also seems to be getting good reviews at other places. Are there any other suggestions for banks and maybe a website that compares different banks? I found a site bankrate.com but their comparison seemed a little limited.
Thanks!
