i have worked for enough banks to know there is very little difference....one thing you can count on they all change so what you liked about one bank another will start and the first will stop.... i want a bank where i know someone i can call to fix a problem and/or advocate for me

I would try Chase.  They are everywhere!  And, I believe they just took over Bank One.  (At least all the Bank Ones here in Columbus just changed to Chase.)  The Chase website shows two branches in Wooster and 28 branches in Rochester.

My son goes to college in Boston.  He's found Bank of America to be the best.  They have a special checking for college students with no monthly fee, and their ATM's are everywhere.\nSecond choice in Boston would be Citizens Bank, but I'm not sure they offer free checking.

Try one of the online banks, for example: www.allstatebank.com,   www.capitalonebank.com,   www.ing.com

Most national banks use ChexSystems, if that's what you're referring to. I would suggest to try a bank that exists only in your local area. The smaller the bank, the greater the chance that they don't use ChexSystems.

They don't seem to offer checking accounts.  You'll have to open one elsewhere.  I quote from their FAQ:\n\n"Do I have to change banks?\nNo. In fact to have an account you must have a personal checking account with another institution. We then link your personal checking account to your Orange account. You can easily transfer funds from or to your Orange account without charge. Do transactions on line at ingdirect.com, by using the Interactive Phone System or by calling an ING DIRECT associate. Funds generally move between your Orange account and your linked account within 3 business days."

I like Fifth Third.  I'm not sure what city you are in, but if it's in Ohio, there are lots of branches and ATMs to use.  They are inside all of the Kroger's stores (grocery store) so it's easy to bank on the weekends.

Yes.\n\nI have a link to it on my website - bankrate.com.\n\nIt is okay - but not always very thorough - depending on where you live. Click on the compare rates tab (on top) and then answer the questions - state, city - and you will have a comparison.\n\nUse it as a guide - think about how you will use your account and bank, and let that help you choose.\n\nFor instance: Need a bank with atms near where I work and play, need a bank that is open when I can get there, need a bank that doesn't charge me for checking, need a bank that is easy to get in and out of, need a bank with helpful staff, etc...you know what you need\n\nGood luck

Gee, maybe you could contact the company you used to do this for and see if they've got a branch close to you.  If not, maybe they could suggest someone for you to contact.

Ask for free checking from Wachovia Bank and then once you have like $500 saved open up a second account called savings which will earn you interest and also in case you overdraft your checking account it will cover it.  They have a nice website where you can contact them and a lot of outlets, along with the telephone number 1-800-WACHOVI

I used to bank with them too.  I am now with CHASE, and they have been AWESOME so far.  Shockingly so.  When I went to sign up with them, they gave us free checking, free billpay, free checks, and even threw in $50 extra into our account.  The service has been fantastic, and their hours are much better than most other banks in town.\n\nI would also keep an eye out for Wachovia.  I banked with them on the east coast and they were phenomenal!!  They just took over some other bank and will be opening up areas in Denver VERY soon.  \n\nEither way, find out what works best for you.
