    Down here, we've used Suntrust (like them as I got great treatment from the branch I used) and Wachovia (don't get me started!). Wachovia holds T checks (and Comchecks, TCH, etc) til midnight. The logic (?) was it's on paper! :biggrin_25521:

    scurvydog,

    Given your avatar, I suspect you served in the Marines...that being said....have you given some thought to USAA?

    You people using your computers to do on line transactions I hope you do not use "free wifi" sites! If so you are taking a big chance at having your information and idenity stolen!

    I by pass any ATM fees buy going to a store and buying something I need and then getting cash back with the transaction! Saves the $2.90 or what ever they charge these days at the truck stops! I never needed more than $100 in my pocket for a week.

    You suspected right. I have never heard of USAA. I will look into that.

    Very rarely do I EVER use online banking. Only thing i do is log into my account to check up on things from time to time.

    They dont have any "brick and morter" branches, but there products and services are second to none. There core customers come from a military background. They have a long history. I have yet to find and auto insurance company that can (for me) beat there rates.

    I have checking, savings, CC, IRA, MM Account, Auto Insurance, and have had 2 auto loans from them.

    You can deposit checks at home, they have Apps avail through I-phone and Blackberry, free ATM withdrawals, ect.

    I use Wachovia; but I'm not a trucker. I like the fact that I can avoid an ATM fee by going to the ATM at my local QT gas station. There's a lot of those down here. They are definitely behind the times on holding deposited checks. I just cash my check at the bank it's drawn on then deposit the cash at the nearest Wachovia. Yes, that's annoying but I haven't figured out a better way yet. :biggrin_25513:

    My ex-bf is a trucker and he uses the Green Dot Card. He has his check direct deposited to that. To the best of my knowledge he never had a problem with it.
