Don't agree and I love Chase bank. I have multiple Chase accounts and transfers between them are instant. Transfers to/from external places like my TDA brokerage account, Venmo, etc. are there the next day. They also have Zelle/QuickPay (though I don't use it). My paycheck is direct deposited the day its supposed to be or earlier.

I've had my debit card skimmed at gas stations twice and my wife has been defrauded by shady online merchants a couple times. Chase always handles it well and reverses the charges.

I have Private Client status which (granted requires a certain level of deposits) gets you a real human on the phone instantly.

I couldn't imagine getting that from Google or Robinhood.

What you’ve just described is 100% table stakes for a bank account. Literally every major provider does all that.
