Schwab is awesome. If you're so inclined, it's easy to do (reasonably priced) stock trades. As far as pure checking goes, they've got everything you would expect, but get this: no ATM fees. At all. Any fee charged by any ATM will be refunded to you at the end of the month. Plus, they do it internationally, too! If I recall correctly, they have effectively zero currency conversion fee, as well.
Capital One also has some decent accounts if you need somewhere to keep cash savings with ATM and check access.
- andrewjshults 15y agoCan't recommend Schwab enough. The no international ATM fees is amazing when traveling (especially if you are going between countries since you tend to get killed on those secondary conversions if you take out large sums). The only disappointment I've had with them is that my Invest First credit card (2% cash back on everything) is going away at the end of October, because surprise, surprise it's being taken over by BoA. They (Schwab) recently rolled out check deposits from their app so BoA taking away my most used card and implementing this fee structure I'm going to get rid of my account secondary account with them and use just Schwab.
