obviously, I can't list the smaller banks so I'm only adding the well know big banks in the poll.

updated. I forgot Commerce and Wells Fargo. I heard about US Bank but I don't think they're as big as the others.

Great Western Bank. I've been really happy with them so far. US Bank can rot in hell for all I care.

Credit Union and it sucks

I love my Credit Union, they don't nickel and dime me to death with fees for everything under the sun the way banks do with their customers.

Credit Unions certainly have their plusses (and their minuses). I've used banks all my life and not once have I paid even a penny in fees. You just have to think or use common sense to avoid bank fees.

I'm not sure why someone would NOT use Washington Mutual if it's in their area. Free checking pwns.
