I haven't looked for a bank account since I was 16, so I'm pretty far out of the loop.
My default choice is Chase bank because I already have a chase credit card, the branch and atm locations are very convenient for me, and I know that they have fairly decent features (deposit check by photo, chase quickpay, etc).
Are there any things I should be aware of that might entice me away from just going to Chase? I generally keep between $5k and $20k in the account. I have a seperate brokerage account where i keep all of my savings and do my investing.
I know that there are some checking accounts that can give me some interest, but honestly for the amount i'd be storing, I think i'm looking at something like $50-$200/year in interest, which isn't horribly enticing, at least maybe not enough to give up the convenience of the proximity of Chase.
What are credit unions, and what are the benefits?
Are there any reputable sites that compare banks and features?
