I moved from Wells Fargo to a community bank called Mechanics Bank

I was planning to do this anyway, and you helped push me over the top.

@littleriverwest I've been very happy with Mechanics Bank here in the Bay Area ever since I switched.

Wells Fargo is pretty terrible unless you have a PMA (recommended $25,000 minimum). PMA account is awesome.

-No monthly service fees

-Free checks

-Refund two non-wells fargo ATM withdrawls / month (unlimited if you have $100,000+).

-Free cashiers checks, money orders, travelers cheques

Most importantly:

- 100 commission free trades per investment account.

I have 3 investment accounts and that saves me ~$3,000 / year.

No PMA account? Ditch Wells Fargo in a heart beat.
