Wells Fargo to charge $7 fee on more checking accounts

[RobinA]

49. Too Bad

I started out 45 years ago with a Wells Fargo predecessor. I've stuck with them through probably seven name changes because I never had a problem with my bank (whoever it was at the time). Probably never had a problem because all they had was my checking and savings, but when I had my debit card stolen they were fine. My family all chagned to various "local banks" because they were "local," but soon found themselves mergered into being part of various big banks. Now don't get me wrong, I think big banks are scam artists, I just never have a problem and I'd always been granfathered into a no-fee situation. I did, however, open a credit union account three years ago in anticipation of the need to switch.

Well, the time has come. Good by, Wells Fargo, I hate your logo anyway. Moved most of my money today, leaving only some in to cover any outstanding checks. Once they all clear I'll transfer the rest and close down the checking. I'm a little sad, because I feel like I'm abandoning good old Peoples Bank, the long time local that gave me my first savings account..
