Screw all big banks. Support your local credit Union. Theyll give u 10x the perks a big bank ever could. And discounts on insurance. Big banks are fraudulent every possible way.

it was called Commerce Bank, then it merged or TD bought them out not sure exactly, and now as of almost a year ago the name switched to TD Bank. didnt know they were a canadian bank. Commerce Banks were all over the place, very popular, and now TD is everywhere instead.

I currently have a checking account for one purpose - and that is because it is required to pay my car insurance. The company I deal with only accepts payments through electronic banking. I keep $5 in my account, and each month I place the payment amount in my account prior to the bill being due. Other than that, I don't use bank accounts. More often than not, all other accounts I have kept have just found ways to weasel me out of my money (fees, monthly charges, charges to use ATMs, or bank cards...)It's my money, and I intend to keep every penny, not to let someone else nickel and dime me.
I use United Bank. I've never had fees other than overdraft (my fault for not balancing my checkbook), and they don't charge if I get it fixed quickly. I have a plain old charge-free checking account. I paid for a box of checkbooks, and it's lasted me... three years so far, and I've only used a book and a half out of five. I usually use my debit card, which I didn't have to pay for. I love being able to use PayPal and shop at online stores and sell my textbooks on Amazon.

TD is Toronto Dominion :lol: I bank with PC because they don't charge anything and I also bank with TD as I have a joint account with my parents. Because I'm a student they don't charge service fees. You can bet I will not continue with them once I'm done school though. I don't agree with them charging me money to use my money to make their own money.
