It’s amazing really. We have a financial crisis, caused by greedy, reckless financial institutions. Congress passes legislation requiring those institutions to be less greedy and reckless. The institutions then lobby to have those restrictions removed, usually in the name of “remaining competitive”. This leads to another financial crisis. It’s completely predictable, and we have been doing this dance since the Great Depression almost 100 years ago.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
Well, I've been researching advisors lately because the market news I've been seeing hasn't been that positive. Who is the individual who helped you, and is he or she still around?
I work with Sonya Lee Mitchell as my fiduciary advisor. Simply look up the name. You would discover the information you needed to schedule an appointment.
I moved from Bank of America to a local credit union ten years ago and it was one of the best moves I've made. I have all the features of a big bank in regards to internet and phone app services that I had with BA.
I was banking with bank of America. They charged me an overdraft fee and no one could find where I had overdrawn and still refused to credit it back to my account. I closed all of my accounts and had family close theirs. I now bank with a credit union and love it.
Cash Boy it is true. They’re known for that. I had over 10,000 in the bank and I kept getting these weird fees. When we called they couldn’t explain why we had so many fees. It was our savings account so we NEVER made any withdraws from that account. We deposited twice a month into that account. The minimum we could have in that account was $1,000. We had way more than the minimum. So, we couldn’t understand where the fees were coming from. When we went in to speak to them they said it was a mistake and they were able to give us back SOME of the money. Fast fwd to one morning when I decided to check my savings account and I saw a chunk of my money disappeared. We panicked and went back in to see what was going on. They said it was a glitched. But when I checked my checking account, we saw a chunk of money was deposited into it the same day. A transfer I never made. They couldn’t explain what happened. I was furious and closed all of my accounts! Don’t be quick to say ppl are lying or they aren’t budgeting/managing their money correctly. This is something that happens to multiple ppl and it has been a problem for quite sometime now.
@@cashboy7406 not necessarily depending how businesses handle transactions. As an example let's say you spend a dollar fifty today but you don't spend that $1.50 until about midnight at a convenience store Because there's no processing that's occurring just yet you might get charged the following day Or The transaction might disappear which then the bank would see it as though they didn't take the $1.50 from your account so it's back in your account which would lead you to believe your account balance is higher Then you spend that $1.50 again and then you overdraft when the other charge that disappeared finally goes through to your bank account
As a Platinum Honors member with BOA, their service is actually pretty great. Most fees waived, discounts on loans, bonuses on top of bonuses on credit card rewards, can’t complain.
I have always been with credit unions and now I work for one. They work for the members, big banks work for the stockholders. Way different atmosphere. CU's have shared branches and atms across the USA.
I signed up for Chase business checking 2 weeks ago. Worst banking experience in my life. They already suspended my account twice for trying to make an initial deposit. Wasted 1 hour on the phone waiting to talk to customer support, which was someone in India that told me to go to a branch.
Im with dave on this one. I grew up in a small town. Open the savings account at a local bank when I was 13. Over the course of the next few years I got to know everyone at that bank. I went to school with most of their kids. Any time that I found myself in a bind financially I could always go to them for assistance. If I needed help managing my account or if I needed a small loan to cover unexpected expenses, I can get it no questions asked. Almost like the old days of working with a handshake. Eventually they got taken over by a multinational Bank. After that I couldn't get anything from them. Despite all of my history with them I couldn't qualify for anything. The bank of eventually got sued because they were fudging people's accounts to create overdraft charges. I close my accounts with that bank at around that time now I use a different local bank and a credit union
Im 21 homie. Been with wells fargo since I was 13 this Monday morning after work im going to go cancel my Wells Fargo account & check a credit union out
Yeah, we said bye-bye to them when we sold our house. Now our (new) mortgage is with discriminating CitiCorp (until they sell it to someone else, anyway). Out of the pan and into the fire, Arrrrgh! Can't wait to be mortgage free!
I left Wells Fargo because of horrible customer service. I went to Chase, which a big bank, but they always have great service. It's just more convienent because they have banks everywhere. I would quickly leave if service ever got bad.
I'm 55 years old, and my 80-year-old parents held a Bank of America checking and savings account, plus a credit card since I was a child! They started charging them a servicing fee on their checking account!! A fee, in their senior years, and after being loyal customers for close to 50 years! But, my mom wanted to stay with them🙄 Finally, they closed their doors here where we live-good riddance! And my parents now have free checking and a little respect. 😊
President Evil not really. Banks invite their share holders to annual meetings, and so do credit unions. The difference is EVERYONE who has an account at the CU is share holder, thus can attend.
Bank of America, the location where I Live in Brooklyn NY treat me very well. I had problems and they understand it and they have taken good care of it. Never could of been more happier. They even waived an overdraft Fee once or twice with no hesitation. I was in totally shock.
Been with navy Fed for 9 years. My savings is in my has a account. My income goes to my navy fed credit account. I only have a chase account to pay my rent via cashiers check. I dont pay chase any fees because I am a veteran.
So true. I had several personal and commercial accounts with Bank of America when I used to own a business, and at first, they treated me with a little more prestige. But, that prestige came at a cost. They started bilking us with ridiculous fees, and even had the nerve to charge us overdraft fees that were clearly their mistakes. Even when I tried pointing it out to them, they wouldn't budge. Eventually, I had enough and severed all ties with them; right about the time when they got that $20 Billion bailout gift in 2009. Oh yeah! And I'll never forget all those extravagant parties they threw right after they got all that money, right in the middle of a great recession, and weren't even hiding it. As if they hadn't a care what the public thought. All that at our expense, of course! I'll never do business with a big bank again. Bank of America is the BOA constrictor!
I bank thru a credit union but my house is thru Chase.. terrible bank! They tried to increase my mortgage, they didn't send me increase papers then tried to say I was in foreclosure when I was always paying! It was a nightmare!
I bank at TCF bank. It's a regional bank that usually operates in the midwest area (though it is spreading outside the area). Completely free checking, and saving accounts only need $100 to avoid fees.
As a former big bank employee that quite less than 2 months ago yup on point about them. Folks aren't a person they're a number that you're always trying to squeeze another sale out of
Jackie Counihan Usaa is a wonderful bank. So easy to use, transfer funds etc. They also have very good fraud protection including the fact all the different type of affordable insurances they provide for cars, homes,etc
love USAA never hear about them in the news either. they treat their customers pretty well. I had their renter's insurance and even though I had no damage during the last few hurricanes they gave me a food stipend for my food loss caused by the lost power... who does that!!!?? 😁😁
I bank with usaa and the only con is the paper money issue. You have to get a money order and write it to yourself and then do the mobile deposit. 10,000 daily limit would be a problem for a large business. I don't have that "problem" though. Great customer service!
BOA is terrible!! Fees for everything! 12 bucks to transfer to your checking from savings if you overdraft. 12 bucks monthly fee if you don’t have direct deposit.. I’m closing my account this week and putting the money into my credit union account I’ve had for years with no problem..
Bank of America is the worst, and yet, every time I drive by the local BoA branch near me, the parking lot is packed and the bank if full of customers...I just don't understand it.
@@Daddyvader7 If you know of someone that has an account with Navy Federal that person can put a word in for you so that you can open an account there. Either in person or over the phone.
Absolutely! I love NFCU. I'll never bank anywhere else! As a former call center employee, I can say first hand that they train their employees to jump through hoops for their customers.
I opened a student account with BofA in 1990, converted to a regular checking when I turned 18. Had one charge, my dad’s $20 Christmas check bounced (yeah) and I had $23.71 in the account. They charged the $20 and $3 bounce fee, leaving me $.71 but no other fees. I’ve been loyal ever since and never had an issue. The mobile app and online bill pay features work great. Their interest rates are terrible but for checking/savings they have been decent enough for me.
I have been a member of my local credit union for 20 years now, I usually walk in and go the counter and they already have me pulled up on the computer before I say anything to them, I would never do business with a corporate mega bank ever. The only correlation I have with Wells Fargo and Bank of America is they happen to be in the index funds I invest in through Vanguard, "that's it"
I will never bank with a credit union again. Those places are lacking badly in security. Someone hacked my account at the credit union and I saw them run my account dry before my very eyes. I found it really suspicious that the credit union stopped sending me my bank statements. They new my account got hacked and tried to hide it from me. I found out later and am very happy banking with a larger bank now.
I use Bank of America and wife uses a credit union. I get my money deposited on my account, spend my money and never think about it. My wife on the other hand has had issues with her deposit going in, money getting stuck in the ATM, constantly has to go to the ONE branch for basic transactions. No thank you. You can have your "personal connections", I'll take convenience any day!
That's "her" credit union. Try the Navy FCU, or other. There's no better convenience than personal service. How can you get personal service at a BoA or WF? Not at our local branches. I went in to a Chase bank once, talked to a nice lady. Bought a CD. Two weeks later, went in and - you guessed it. She wasn't there anymore - transferred to another branch. So the replacement didn't even know me. And all she wanted me to do was buy another CD?
I bank with First United Bank based in Durant, Oklahoma. They are everywhere in Oklahoma, especially in small towns. State banks aren't the worst but not the best.
What about taking out a loan from an employee credit union? I’ve always felt that, if you borrowed from them, they truly have direct access to your paycheck and it might feel slightly uncomfortable.
Not neccasirly USAA sucks I would avoid them like the plague I closed my account with them after they failed me. They left me stranded on the side of the road on the highway in the summer and they also did not help me when I had a fraudulent charge of 1500 I lost that money and was called a liar even though I submitted proof they didn’t consider the charge fraud. They never provided me a check book even after I paid twice for checkbooks. There is only one physical branch in Texas not many usaa arms. Pen fed and navy fed have banks and atms and have not done me wrong yet. Penfed is decent. navy fed is alright too. I’ve had a personal loan through pen fed and a car loan through navy fed.
Been a Wells Fargo customer since 2005. Never been mistreated. They qualified me for a loan with a decent interest rate. My credit union took forever to qualify me, and when they finally did, it was far less amount than what I needed. WF also has ATMs everywhere in the USA. Great for when you're out of town. I once inquired for a car loan at WF. The guy there actually suggested I go with a credit union because they offer car loans at lower apr. I appreciated his honesty. Thankyou Wells Fargo!
When you go into the city all the biggest, newest buildings are bank buildings and that's because they're always charging all their members all those fees.
Hello Im new to all this and was wondering if you guys suggest guys like Charles schwab online checking or sonething like the Ally checking account...I just opened a high yeild savings at Ally as well as begun funding a roth Ira. I just turned 22 and got my first salaried job
I had a Wells fargo account. I got hit with a huge overdraft fee and when I went in to querry it, The lady fixed it on spot right then and there. No hassle or anything. I've loved Wells Fargo ever since.
@@inthebooks3947 that’s what I’m thinking tbh, if you have money in your account your good tbh. But people have issues when they over draft and get the fee, or can’t remove transactions that’s their fault, etc.
I’ll concede this point, if you’re using debit cards and constantly going close to $0, and in danger of overdrafting, banks like BoA are not the bank for you. Their business model isn’t geared towards focusing on these marginal individuals, and they charge these nuisance fees to tell the customer to either shape up or get out. They don’t really want these customers. The ones they really want are in their preferred rewards program where if you have a great amount of assets with them in their investment programs, then you’ll find a lot of their fees suddenly become waived. These are the long term steady clients they are seeking and want to keep. BoA/Chase/WF aren’t evil, they’re just banks, just like a credit union. They have an audience segment they like to cater to and the services and rewards are quite rich for that segment.
I have Santander. It’s so bad. You literally have to call corporate to have them connect you to a locate branch. You can’t call the local branch directly. It’s just stupid.
Look for something called shared branches with credit unions. It used to be called (or may still be) CU Service Centers so look that up. That is where you can have your account with one credit union and access it at another credit union's branch as long as they are part of that program.
I’ve been with WF for 20 years. I’ve never had an issue with them but I don’t like that whole scam they were doing. I want to switch over to a credit union but it’s hard to find one I trust.
“If every person in America took their money out of the big 5 banks and opened accounts at local banks-it would be a create a complete revolution overnight”. Catherine Austin Fitts
I had Wachovia and then Wells Fargo bought them. I’ve never had an issue with Wells Fargo. I rarely call or go into the bank, but when I have, they gave excellent customer service. However, with the fake interviews and massive scandal from a few years ago, I don’t know if I can continue banking with them. I’m considering NFCU.
Tim Kordik Even if they sell the loan, the terms of the loan do not change. In fact most banks and credit unions sell loans all the time. Usually the Wells Fargo or Bank of America's make their money servicing the loan. Not holding it. By selling the loan, it allows them to free up the money and go out and make more loans. This is the same case for Church Hill Mortgage.
Wells Fargo is rude. Key Bank will sit there telling their customers off for no reason. Bank of America is just as bad. Discover checking locks you out of your accts & ur not able to get ur cash out of the debit card no matter what atm you go too. It's like they want you to keep calling them up then they keep you on the phone for a half hour asking stupid questions. Robinhood's debit won't work in atms in the same way. I'd avoid those for a checking acct.
What’s your suggestion for a military member? I have a local bank, however I’ve been stationed in Japan so it’s truly inconvenient. I’ve thought of going to Navy Fed. For the most part they are on or near every base. Thank you for your information, I love it.
Been with wellsfargo for quite a bit, but skeptical with credit union can you trust them? Like can i open a savings acc and checking acc. What are the benefits?
What about interest rates? My CU pays .35 on my (emergency fund) money market. An online savings account pays 1.55 - 1.85. Should I move my e fund to one of these?
Kinda the opposite here. We dont have any big nationsl banks in the area (one Chase branch 30-40 minutes away) and the regiondl banks dont give AF. Took my Efund to Capital One during COVID and have been pleased. We've got one credit union that's strong in the area, but theyre not NCEU covered.
It’s amazing really. We have a financial crisis, caused by greedy, reckless financial institutions. Congress passes legislation requiring those institutions to be less greedy and reckless. The institutions then lobby to have those restrictions removed, usually in the name of “remaining competitive”. This leads to another financial crisis. It’s completely predictable, and we have been doing this dance since the Great Depression almost 100 years ago.

The only correlation I have with Wells Fargo and Bank of America is they happen to be in the index funds I invest in through Vanguard, "that's it"
My experience says otherwise. Small local banks are pain. They give zero respect to clients with small deposits.
Try Frost Bank especially here in Texas. Most of us, their customers tend to remain with them. Great local Frost Bank here in Texas.
I've been looking into Frost (Austin girl here) how are the fees?
I will never bank with a credit union again. Those places are lacking badly in security. Someone hacked my account at the credit union and I saw them run my account dry before my very eyes. I found it really suspicious that the credit union stopped sending me my bank statements. They new my account got hacked and tried to hide it from me. I found out later and am very happy banking with a larger bank now.
Where do you bank now ?
I have bofA and hate it!! I’m closing it ASAP !
I love my credit union. We have been with them 14 years. 😃❤️😃
Which one would you recommend
I use Bank of America and wife uses a credit union. I get my money deposited on my account, spend my money and never think about it.
My wife on the other hand has had issues with her deposit going in, money getting stuck in the ATM, constantly has to go to the ONE branch for basic transactions. No thank you. You can have your "personal connections", I'll take convenience any day!
That's "her" credit union. Try the Navy FCU, or other. There's no better convenience than personal service. How can you get personal service at a BoA or WF? Not at our local branches. I went in to a Chase bank once, talked to a nice lady. Bought a CD. Two weeks later, went in and - you guessed it. She wasn't there anymore - transferred to another branch. So the replacement didn't even know me. And all she wanted me to do was buy another CD?
@@morganfbilbo462 this comment is 5 years old lol. Totally forgot about this.
Had wells fargo since 2008. I finally closed it out and transfered my funds to my employers Credit Union. I'm treated better.
I bank with First United Bank based in Durant, Oklahoma. They are everywhere in Oklahoma, especially in small towns. State banks aren't the worst but not the best.
What about taking out a loan from an employee credit union? I’ve always felt that, if you borrowed from them, they truly have direct access to your paycheck and it might feel slightly uncomfortable.
Any bank you do with business with, in essence, can access your paychecks through garnishment if court approved.
Navy Fed is a great credit union. Been a customer for 20 years now. Super happy
I can greatly agree.
USAA, PENFED, and Navy Federal Credit Union, nuff said!
You never do business with mega banks.
USAA is the worst
Bank of America has worked well for me for checking, savings and bill pay.
I bank with Woodforest national bank and don't seem to have to many problems with customer service and other issues
Anyone have recommendations on SoFi or any online banking? I am a trucker OTR looking for my best option? Thx
I personally enjoy SoFi. I’ve never had an issue with them.
People used to rob banks, now banks the robbers!
Awesome video! I've been on the fence about closing my bank account. This really helped! Thanks Dave Ramsey!
Wondering what Dave thinks about banking at places that require a military background like Navy Federal or USAA.
I love em.
I'm sure customers there are treated much better than any traditional civilian bank.
Not neccasirly USAA sucks I would avoid them like the plague I closed my account with them after they failed me. They left me stranded on the side of the road on the highway in the summer and they also did not help me when I had a fraudulent charge of 1500 I lost that money and was called a liar even though I submitted proof they didn’t consider the charge fraud. They never provided me a check book even after I paid twice for checkbooks. There is only one physical branch in Texas not many usaa arms. Pen fed and navy fed have banks and atms and have not done me wrong yet. Penfed is decent. navy fed is alright too. I’ve had a personal loan through pen fed and a car loan through navy fed.
Is there an updated version of this video? 2023 has been very interesting for banks and now I'm looking to open a joint account with my wife.
Been a Wells Fargo customer since 2005. Never been mistreated. They qualified me for a loan with a decent interest rate. My credit union took forever to qualify me, and when they finally did, it was far less amount than what I needed. WF also has ATMs everywhere in the USA. Great for when you're out of town.
I once inquired for a car loan at WF. The guy there actually suggested I go with a credit union because they offer car loans at lower apr. I appreciated his honesty. Thankyou Wells Fargo!

COOOL one person lives after jumping off a 14 story building MOST PEOPLE DON'T have fun with one of the worst banks known to man!
Who do you know there? There is always one outlier in the data.
When you go into the city all the biggest, newest buildings are bank buildings and that's because they're always charging all their members all those fees.
how to you find a list of "regional" banks that aren't mega big national/international?
Any good joint checking account you recommend?
Hello Im new to all this and was wondering if you guys suggest guys like Charles schwab online checking or sonething like the Ally checking account...I just opened a high yeild savings at Ally as well as begun funding a roth Ira. I just turned 22 and got my first salaried job
Ally Bank savings account interest rate is 1.25% APY
Medic311 1.80%
2% currently
It is 2.2% not a great place to invest so dont put a lot of your money there however it is a good place for a rainy day fund.
1.9
Stock markets better
How do you feel about chime and ally and stuff like that?
This would've been nice if this actually told us the best banks and not just a rant...
classicstorm Their Is Know Best Bank The Best Bank Is You Holding Onto Your Own Money Choose The Lesser Of Evils 😀
For real, I was waiting for a list of names or something
I had a Wells fargo account. I got hit with a huge overdraft fee and when I went in to querry it, The lady fixed it on spot right then and there. No hassle or anything. I've loved Wells Fargo ever since.
I don’t have issues with them but I’m hearing so much bad stuff
People don’t like them cause there broke and get charged with fees. I have Wells Fargo & never had a issue once
@@inthebooks3947 that’s what I’m thinking tbh, if you have money in your account your good tbh. But people have issues when they over draft and get the fee, or can’t remove transactions that’s their fault, etc.
Agree with his opinion with choosing banks. Just like a relationship, period. Well Fargo will never gain my trust after plenty of peoples reviews
I would move to a local credit union but my mortgage is with a big bank and dont wnat to trnafer because of the rate sright now 😐
Genuine question, do you think i should do banking with Chase bank?
I’ll concede this point, if you’re using debit cards and constantly going close to $0, and in danger of overdrafting, banks like BoA are not the bank for you. Their business model isn’t geared towards focusing on these marginal individuals, and they charge these nuisance fees to tell the customer to either shape up or get out. They don’t really want these customers.
The ones they really want are in their preferred rewards program where if you have a great amount of assets with them in their investment programs, then you’ll find a lot of their fees suddenly become waived. These are the long term steady clients they are seeking and want to keep.
BoA/Chase/WF aren’t evil, they’re just banks, just like a credit union. They have an audience segment they like to cater to and the services and rewards are quite rich for that segment.
Ok blue pill
I’m surprised that Wells Fargo was not bought out yet
Came looking for a decent video but this is beyond what I expected 🙌🏻
I have Santander. It’s so bad. You literally have to call corporate to have them connect you to a locate branch. You can’t call the local branch directly. It’s just stupid.
What bank is best for international living and business. My American bank does not allow me to wire money while not in country.
I've said this for years and nobody would believe me. I swear people would rather trust fancy commercials and follow the "normal" people route.
As a company they’ve made some bad decisions from my consumer point of view they have one of the best interfaces around and I love that
I have bank of america. Ive never in 10 years had an issue with them. Then again almost my entire family has them abd i dont walk into a bank.
Is desert financial good?
My FifthThird branch hasn't done me wrong yet, should I switch?
What if your bussiness requires you to have access to your bank (cashiers checks and etc) in different states?
omaxman1 USAA
omaxman1 credit unions link up all over the country.
Look for something called shared branches with credit unions. It used to be called (or may still be) CU Service Centers so look that up. That is where you can have your account with one credit union and access it at another credit union's branch as long as they are part of that program.
Greyson Peltier They still call them Credit Union Service Centers. They go by both now.
I’ve been with WF for 20 years. I’ve never had an issue with them but I don’t like that whole scam they were doing. I want to switch over to a credit union but it’s hard to find one I trust.
After what Wells Fargo's did. How do people still keep an account with them?
“If every person in America took their money out of the big 5 banks and opened accounts at local banks-it would be a create a complete revolution overnight”. Catherine Austin Fitts
You know I never thought about this. I do like Navy Federal credit Union. I may look into this, as far as a regional bank.
I had Wachovia and then Wells Fargo bought them. I’ve never had an issue with Wells Fargo. I rarely call or go into the bank, but when I have, they gave excellent customer service. However, with the fake interviews and massive scandal from a few years ago, I don’t know if I can continue banking with them. I’m considering NFCU.
Churchill Mortgage, Dave's ONLY recommended mortgage provider sells nearly ALL of their loans to Wells Fargo NA.
Tim Kordik Even if they sell the loan, the terms of the loan do not change. In fact most banks and credit unions sell loans all the time. Usually the Wells Fargo or Bank of America's make their money servicing the loan. Not holding it. By selling the loan, it allows them to free up the money and go out and make more loans. This is the same case for Church Hill Mortgage.
That is not good at all. Basically means that Wells Fargo customer service will kick in, and the nightmares begin.
Wells Fargo is rude. Key Bank will sit there telling their customers off for no reason. Bank of America is just as bad. Discover checking locks you out of your accts & ur not able to get ur cash out of the debit card no matter what atm you go too. It's like they want you to keep calling them up then they keep you on the phone for a half hour asking stupid questions. Robinhood's debit won't work in atms in the same way. I'd avoid those for a checking acct.
What’s your suggestion for a military member? I have a local bank, however I’ve been stationed in Japan so it’s truly inconvenient. I’ve thought of going to Navy Fed. For the most part they are on or near every base. Thank you for your information, I love it.
He didnt mention Chase! Does that mean Chase is ok?
😅😅
PNC Bank is great for college students and also my parents have Chase Bank
Thinking the same thing 😅
I love chase been with them over 20 years
Chase is fantastic. I became good friends with a couple of their personal bankers. They care.
Lloyd’s of London is the best bank to use, innit bruv?
We bank at a credit union. We've held the account for twenty-five years
thank you for the info man
Been with wellsfargo for quite a bit, but skeptical with credit union can you trust them? Like can i open a savings acc and checking acc. What are the benefits?
What about interest rates? My CU pays .35 on my (emergency fund) money market. An online savings account pays 1.55 - 1.85. Should I move my e fund to one of these?
Kinda the opposite here. We dont have any big nationsl banks in the area (one Chase branch 30-40 minutes away) and the regiondl banks dont give AF. Took my Efund to Capital One during COVID and have been pleased. We've got one credit union that's strong in the area, but theyre not NCEU covered.
Sound advice thanks!
I have TD Bank currently and was thinking about switching to Fairwinds Credit Union. Good in anybody’s experience?
How about asking first... what are you trying to do or accomplish? Then respond forward with advice. They both benefit depending upon.
I really like USAA Bank - they may be good but the service is fantastic
What are your thoughts on Huntington?
