In reply to the discussion: Bank of America considers checking account fee revamp [View all]zipplewrath
(16,698 posts)21. Which is why I found this so surprising

When it comes to complaints against banks in Florida, Space Coast Credit Union and JPMorgan Chase rank among the most criticized, receiving a greater share of complaints than their relative size. SunTrust in contrast gets among the least complaints for it size, a new study shows.
Independent banking analyst Ken Thomas of Miami prepared the study by analyzing complaints lodged in 2011 at the Florida Division of Financial Institutions.
His 2010 report also had found Space Coast and Chase generating high complaint levels and SunTrust among the most consumer-friendly.
The really surprising result is Space Coast, said Thomas. Many people think of credit unions for good customer service. I could understand high complaints against Space Coast last year after they bought Eastern Financial, but two years in a row? They have a long way to go to improve their customer service.
