Help with choosing a bank

Go to a local credit union.

Avoid Bank of America at all costs.

Avoid everything that has a fee to it. Make sure you know what account requirements exist to avoid a fee. Banking fees are evil. It will read like, "Monthly Service Charge waived with a $1000 average daily minimum balance", or some shit like that.

You may want a credit card for, you know, life. Costco's Visa is very good.

Savings, Investing, and Retirement should be done at Fidelity or Vanguard.

I like Chase, they have some deal going on where you set up direct deposit in a new checking account you get 200 bucks.

Check our nerdwallet, it's a decent site that gives personal finance product reviews.

Mods if this is advertising let me know, I'm not affiliated with any of the above

Ive had chase since I was 16(27 now) and don't have much bad to say about them. I have a checking account, savings account and 2 credit cards through them. A friend works for huntington and swears they are the bees knees but I've never had to deal with them. Credit unions are usually good too.

Schwab

Ive had capital one 360. I got it back when it was ing direct.

Still works well and has no fees.

I got rid of my bank of America I originally got because BofA is awful.

And there's really no reason to have a brick and mortar place unless you need to deposit cash

I'd probably go credit union.
