Another excellent option in many places is Credit Unions. Better rates, "member owned" (they're still run by a board that can be good or bad at banking), and often they have virtually no fees for anything. People hear "Credit Union" and think of the 80's when it was difficult to join such an organization. The rules about membership were lightened up on over a decade ago, and many times all you need to do to "qualify" is be an employee in a certain industry, or live in a particular city. If you leave the company that got you on the qualification list, or move out of the city, your membership is NOT revoked. Additionally, if you think they're doing a really bad job, you at least have a VOTE in who's running the organization. Try doing that at a traditional bank.
