I agree, but I have a new found understanding to banking after my sister worked at WaMu for some time.

Banks see people as customers that's true, but there's some customers that don't get treated like common ruffians when they walk in the street. Why? Because they don't use the bank as a hotel for their money like most people do. Use it like a hotel and they will nickel and dime you to death.

Use it like you a home, and they will treat you like a king.

what's the difference between the two? Well if you just cash your paycheck and keep your money in there and just write checks and then deplete the amount, then you are using it like a hotel.

Find ways to save money, use the minimun deposit amounts to your advantage, and they will give you much much more respect.
