I've been growing increasingly annoyed with BOA's actions over the past few years. I think I'm going to switch banks too... I already do my insurance through USAA... might as well put my money there too.

I recently got an account with Charles Schwab because they have no fees for international withdrawals. I have an account with Citibank but I dont use it because they charge 3% to withdrawal abroad. BofA was charging me 1%. Can anyone else recommend a US bank account, or bank account that US citizens can open that doesn't charge for international withdrawals?

I use Charles Schwab and Fidelity MySmart account. Both have no fees/exchange rate on ATM withdrawals anywhere in the world. It's nice to have two accounts. I hope it lasts!

I'm surprised you didn't mention BofA's amazing stock drop from $15 to $5 in less than a year. This bank is toast.

A few months ago, a friend of mine got an email from B of A, saying that his account was overdrawn. He was surprised, considering he thought he had money in his account. He logged in and it was all gone. Later, he logged in again, and his money was back. He called up B of A, asking what the deal was, and forwarded them the email as proof of what had occurred. They were mystified.

I keep hearing about Charles Schwab as a good option for mobile people.

I'm sold.
Anyone have experience transferring credit card debt balances to a new credit card (i.e. USAA)? Any major cons I should be worried about? My credit is in great standing right now.

USAA Banking Services
USAA banking services will also save you a bundle, and will offer you more convenience than you'll find in any other banking institution with which we're familiar.
What's so great about USAA military banking? Well, for starters, how about FREE checking? And we mean REALLY FREE CHECKING!
USAA's checking accounts offer:
FREE worldwide ATM use
FREE unlimited funds transfers to any U.S. bank
FREE checks
NO monthly fees, regardless of your balance
Interest on the balance
FREE USAA Web BillPay®
and our personal favorite:
FREE USAA Deposit@Home-SM. This allows you (subject to credit approval) to make deposits from any computer with a scanner attached. You simply scan the check (both sides) and e-mail it to USAA. You never need to put the check in the mail, drive it to the mailbox or post office, and wait 7-10 days for it to be posted. Your deposited funds are posted to your account immediately. What a time-saver! And with the cost of gas these days, this feature saves you even more money.
Online access to your account information 24/7. You can view and manage transactions in your account from anywhere, at any time, as long as you have access to a computer with an internet connection, even if you're on a ship at sea, or in Baghdad or Kabul.
You can even open a checking account on line.

Bank Of America or BOA is a market leader, what it does dictates what other banks will most likely charge in the near future.
From a technological standpoint, I believe that BOA outsources this function for various interesting reasons.However, it is still king in terms of technology when compared with other retail banks.
IMO, BoA is now shifting it's customer base towards higher profile clients; it will the be a wealthy person's bank and not of the average joe's. All the goodies USAA offers, BOA, also offers to clients with at least 20k combined deposits. So if you have a good chunk of reserves in BOA I wouldn't be too worried about it's fees.

This is all payback for frank-dodd, and the war continues.

I'm worried that when the stock drops below $5, there will be major sell-offs ($5 is a minimum threshold for a large number of investment firms/mutual funds).
They are going to have to do a reverse split or something, who knows..

The site has either been running slowly or customers haven't been able to access their online accounts during the last six days.
Run on the bank?
If this keeps up, I could see this snowballing.
Eh? You could still log in, all you have to do is click the "continue to online banking" link that shows up. Looks like it's up right now anyway.
