I used to have a checking and savings at Wamu, and they converted to Chase. I am NOT happy with Chase at all.

1) They do not allow transfers via Western Union.
2) Now I see on their website that: A) transfers from savings to checking accounts are limited to 6 per month. (I make 1 transfer per month at the most, but it bothers me greatly that they should put a limit on this at all!) although I made the transfer online, today, it will only process tomorrow, and the money will be credited in my other account on Monday. WHY???? Both accounts are in the same branch. What is this limbo that my money goes to for the weekend??

I don't know how other banks operate but this bothers me enough that I don't want to do business with Chase anymore. Can you suggest alternatives? Are you happy with your bank?

And, BTW, did you guys know that Wells Fargo charges a fee for depositing cash into a business account?? I had never heard of such a thing in my life. What, are bankers so busy now that if you deposit cash and they have to count it, that's not a task that's included in their salary? My DH says I'm being silly. I don't see how a bank has any other task than to deal with money. Why do they have to charge a fee to receive a deposit?

I'm not too far from deciding to keep my money under my mattress!

I'm all for banking locally, if you can find one...I've been with the same bank 25 years...DH for nearly 50...other than keeping a minimum (I think it's $200) in checking, there's no fees as long as you don't write more than 20 checks monthly ...if we find a great deal on something over the weekend, we write a check, and get the loan on Monday morning...coin counting is free, they always have a dish of candy out on the counter, free pens & calendars...
