The only explanation for the continued usage of consumer banks that provide sub par service and pay paltry near-zero interest rates is the lack of basic financial education. The majority of people just don’t know any better and think switching banks is a pain. In reality it takes 15 min to open an account online.

Or if you want lots of help switching, a local credit union will probably do that, too.

I was in a branch of my (not very large, so not really expected to be multilingual) credit union here in Seattle about a month ago and a branch employee was walking a middle-age-appearing couple through switching their automatic debits and direct deposit and such to the account they’d recently opened. And he was doing it in German.

A credit union without any offices in New York City is a good way to protect you against the organisms described here:

I"ve had two separate mortgages sold without my consent to Wells Fargo. It's been pretty difficult to avoid them.

Plus any companies that use Stripe are sending business to WF.
