Not as big as the others? Look at #7 (And yes, I realize you already added it to the list...)

I'm with TCF, they're #77 on the same list, but living in MN they're convenient

Hell, Commerce bank is listed and it's 4 spots lower than the bank I use.

National City, because there was a branch convenient to my old house, and I've had no problems with them. There's also a branch convenient to my new office. :D

Agreed. My credit union only requires I keep $5 in my savings account, and they refund any ATM fees I get charged from non credit union ATM's at the end of the month...

Bank of New York

None of the above... Then again the only major banks in Alaska are Wells and Key Bank... and they both suck.

Chase (Formerly Bank One (Formerly First Chicago)).

I like it, free checking, and they always have straps of $2 bills for me, which feeds my WheresGeorge? addiction.

US Bank, because one of their main service centers is about 50 miles away from me, so I can go on a mass beatdown spree if they screw with me.

Since my bank isn't listed..i'm guessing it's a local bank.

My primary checking is with Northfork Bank (used to be Trust Company).
my secondary checking (the one I barely touch except to transfer funds to primary) is with Valley National Bank..which I'm assuming is another local bank.

so yea.
