  I may very well leave Chase over this issue, but unless we can convince a critical mass of people to care about this issue deeply, I think we're screwed. Me leaving Chase will do nothing, except perhaps restore a tiny bit of my dignity. But, I do have a bigger problem: where do I go to signal that I care? "Anywhere" is an answer, but is it a good one? Who can I trust to not do this? And in addition, if I'm going to leave over it, I'm going to at least make noise first.

    People have been making a ton of noise and leaving the large predatory for-profit retail banks for years. There was a massive uptick in 2008, and again in 2011 with the Occupy Wall Street movement. Find a local credit union. They are better in literally every conceivable way. They have stronger financial controls, better service, better fees for all their financial products, and basically every credit union is part of the STAR network which is the largest ATM network in the world. I've seen the exact complaint of yours a few times over several social networks in the past couple weeks, so the word is definitely out there. Chase is shit, but we all knew that already. Time to move your money, and stop supporting these crooks. It's actually super simple. It takes maybe an hour to convert everything from Chase to a credit union. Open the account with the credit union first, and they'll give you everything you need to transfer everything over, even credit cards that aren't fully paid off etc. Then you walk into a Chase branch for the last time ever, and move it all.
