I'm now banking with a local bank that welcomed me with open arms, has none of the new onerous, punishing fees and fines that BOA instituted recently, will not charge me for the privilege of having a checking account with it like BOA wants to do, has nice special services for folks over 50....and I even get free checks in perpetuity, LOL.
BOA can go jump.

I just hope your local bank is financially stable. There have been hundreds of banks ( many local/regional ones ) that went under in the past 2 years.
Except when the owners switch from being a “mutual” bank to a public bank. And then they sell themselves for millions in their pockets.
I worked for one of those. I work with guys who were brought in specifically for that purpose. I worked for the big bank that bought the little banks afterwards. If you want to hear jerks, listen to the Senior level management of those small banks in the “merger” conference room after the sale. They couldn’t care less about their customers.
