“Since I am planning an overseas trip I did a little research and found the travel community raves about the ATM features of Charles Schwab's checking account with good reason. They reimburse you ALL ATM fees and NO foreign transaction fees (when you take money out in another currency). In general I found you usually get the best exchange rates withdrawing funds directly from your bank account instead of exchanging money at the booths you find in airports/cities around the world, or bringing a wad of dollars to a bank. That alone was the main reason for opening an account, but I also found they have 24 hour customer service. It is US based and knowledgeable. You can also chat online so no need to speak on the phone. I did find they tend to ask questions about your investment plans and do try to steer you towards their investment products. To open a checking account you also need to open a brokerage account, but there are currently no requirements to fund it. You may want to. In looking over their investment options they have some competitive expense ratios on their mutual funds and ETF as low as .03% beating the low cost investment leader, Vanguard in some categories. Stick with the no transaction fee funds and ETFs, because the ones with fees are pretty high. The fine print states that expense ratios can change at any time, but as of now that is some of the very lowest around. Truly pleasantly surprised by my experience so far. Hoping the good vibes continue when I travel over the summer and actually use my ATM privileges.”
“Hours aren't long but the people who work here are very nice and the bank is clean. I hardly ever see it crowded now with covid rules in place. The atm has never given me any issues. I just wish the bank was open for longer hours on the weekend.”
“Staff at this office have always been professional, courteous and responsive. Jack Vogelzang in particular introduced the Schwab Intelligent Portfolio to me and I couldn't be more pleased. The only way they could get a fifth star from me is if they actually gave away free money the way the Fed seems to these days.”

“Several years before my retirement, Fidelity helped set up a cash flow plan. Even after my retirement, Fidelity has stayed with me and tweaked the plan as needed. As a result, I'm having a wonderful retirement!”
