I'm officially done with Bank of America, those shyster pirates have fined me for hundreds for all kinds of bogus BS

What is the bank you use and are you happy with it?

I had one overdraft and they charged me $35, that's not too big a deal. But then for every 24 hours I went without balancing it, I got fined another $35, even though I didn't use my check card. The sad thing is I didn't have the money to balance it so I just kept getting worse and worse everyday.

Commerce Bank/TD Bank is the best. I was very nervous about TD taking over, but so far, things have been pretty much the same, except for a logo change and a color scheme change from red/blue to green/purple. They offer free coin counting, late and Sunday hours, free cashier's checks (there's a limit each month I think), and give you instant debit cards. They have tons and tons of branches in the area as well.

I once overdrew my checking account by mistake, and I called and asked nicely for them to reverse the charges since I didn't have any other problems. They did.

TD Bank = awesome.

Investors Savings and Hudson City are great as well if you have a local branch.

I'm a bit fed up with Wachovia because they charge $35 for each ATM overdraft, but they always calculate it in the method that pays them the most, meaning if say you have $50 in the bank and withdrawals come in for $4.23, $15 and $60, they will process the $60 first then charge you 3 times $35 for all 3 bounces.
Sometimes they cut you a break but only a limited number of times, and then its not the full amount.
