I went over to Southtrust, but this was when they were small and local. Wachovia has taken them over - so the jury is still out. So far I've had no problems, even though funds are coming in internationally.

We have two banks in my town. They both wanted to charge me $25 per incoming international wire. I told them straight up, it would be cheaper in the long run for me to keep banking in Dallas where incomings were free...I very seldom ever have to go into a bank. In the last 3 years, I've been in mine about two times.

When I need cash, I use a local ATM, and Wachovia refunds me the fee.

I am keeping BoA at least until the NEw Year.
Then and especially if the VP leaves I am gone too, as I need the cash flow and cannot wait a week or more for my money.
