Jul. 6th, 2011 07:04 pmIt figures: I just decided last month that it was worth it to not have to buy checks one at a time from Wells Fargo, and bought 150 checks at once, for a fraction of the price. Now Wells Fargo is going to start charging a monthly fee for formerly "free" accounts, and I'm going to close that account. My last act as a Wells Fargo customer will be to bring my unused checkbooks in to be shredded.
At least I have two months to figure out what my next checking bank will be. I currently have relationships with ING and PenFed, and they each have pluses and minuses. ING: No account fees or minimums, but with no physical locations or partnering banks, I would have to send in money orders to deposit my cash paychecks. PenFed: Would be able to make cash deposits at any credit union in the country, but they require a $500 minimum balance to avoid any fees.
Edit: Hey, I might be able to deposit funds into my share account at PenFed, and avoid opening up a new account altogether! I think I'm done thinking about this for the day.
