    - Some of the key ways industry analysts determine the “health” of a bank &
    - How & why we chose these 8 banks to keep your money during a financial crisis
    - Which bank we moved our business & personal accounts to this week &

    I used to keep my money in Bank of America until they started with the $25 a month fee on a checking account with a lower balance. And then they started charging five dollars a month fee on a savings account with a low balance. I told my husband if I only had $300 in the checking account in six months if I never touched that money, the fees would eat that $300…that is when I closed that account.

    I want to recommend that we support our small local "Banks". Make sure you are not over the FDIC limits. Also make sure you have liquid assets available from more than one "Bank". The big "Banks" already have a huge control of the "Banking" system. If too many people started emptying out their local "Bank" accounts, this run on the "Banks" would create unnecessary "Bank" failures.

    The last straw in my relationship with Bank of America came when I went to my branch to get some answers from a person, face-to-face. The teller sat me down in front of her desk, picked up a phone, dialed a number, and handed me the receiver. I handed it back to her, walked out of the branch, and transferred my holdings later that week. That was several years ago, and I've been a happy Chase customer ever since.

      I think it all depends on location and the quality of employees they're hiring at that location. In my town we have a Chase, Wells Fargo, and PNC and PNC has by far a better reputation than the other two. Chase is straight up telling people you can't even meet with a banker to ask a question without making an appointment two weeks out or more yet PNC will help you that day with the same issue.

    If you really want to keep your money safe, use an investment bank. They won't finance tour next car, but you can have a checking and savings account that is totally safe, plus be able to occasionally purchase a few shares of your favorite company. I recommend Fidelity. It won't hurt to look into it.

      @Zues64 Рік тому +1

      my Google research suggests that your assets in a safety deposit box should a bank become insolvent are safe, but they could be held hostage for a period of time until the bank insolvency in bankruptcy is resolved with the FDIC. when the bank goes bankrupt, it ceases operations and the FDIC takes control of the assets.

    The issue with the largest banks is that their liability exceeds the capacity of FDIC assets. When these banks default there is uncertainty to the government’s ability to bail them out (the government itself is on the verge of failure).
    A smaller bank failure will quickly result in a bailout by the FDIC in order to maintain public confidence.

      I have navy fed, and I am totally unimpressed with their interest rates. They are ridiculously low in this environment, seriously low like not Even one percent. Like fractional percent. Meanwhile, all of my Capital One accounts pay over 4.25%. And I don’t even need to go to customer service to create additional savings accounts. I can do all of that online so I have accounts like emergency savings, vacation, funds, etc., and I’m making 4.25% on all of that money which is a big deal when you have 20 or 30 K in the bank. But I still keep navy fed because Capital One doesn’t have any branches where I live in while I can do most stuff electronically there are sometimes I need to visit a physical branch and so that is what I use Navy fed for But I keep the minimum in my account to avoid service charges.
