Banking

I am seeking Dallas's opinion on best local bank options.
Money is direct deposit and it is rare I need to walk into a branch.
My small "local" bank doesn't really give a crap about serving their customers and I can't get basic things like a Notary stamp without a six step pre-approval process because their staff is so poorly trained including on things like opening and moving over a retirement account so...
Dallas who do you use? Who do you love? Please for the love of God tell me who to avoid.

Credit Unions are the way to go.
I use Navy Federal, but another might serve your needs better. A little research goes a long way here.

Texas Capital or their online bank, Bask Bank.

My roommate is a member of Texans and they were the only bank I could find that would cash bonds on-site. Not only that, they were willing to do it for me as a non-member! Super kind and accommodating.

Second on Texans. The manager of my local branch would help me with things via text message. They’ve got great service and good rates if you ever do want a loan for anything. Everyone should use a credit union. Fuck for-profit banks.

Would you mind messaging with your person's name and location? I am willing to stop by and say hello.

Worked there like 25 years ago, and been my bank ever since then. I still go back to see a few people. My old boss now runs the whole place and the branches. They done very well for themselves.

Bank of Texas and Advancial credit union work well for me.

Didn't Bank of Texas just get charged with some money laundering or something? I saw it in the news recently.

I haven’t needed a notary, so I can’t help there. But I’ve been with Frost Bank for ages, and I’ve been pleased with them.
TheChrisSuprun@reddit (OP)
Thanks for the reply. Frost is actually my problem area right now and neither online chat or begging for a manager to call is getting it done so now I am done.
sarahbeth124@reddit
Whoops, sorry to hear that!
TheChrisSuprun@reddit (OP)
It's not all good, but if they're working for you go with it. They just aren't getting crap done for me.

Concur Frost sucks even on a business level, website is from the 1990s and bankers like to talk about all the stuff they will “take care of” but the never do

I have 2 credit unions, 2 online banks (Ally and SoFi), and Chase.
Two people close to me have online banks only (Chime) and they use me as their cash mule since I don’t have to pay fees at the Chase ATM. I withdraw cash and they send me money online.

Chase

Credit union would be my first suggestion. And stay away from BoA.

Credit unions are solid choice but do your research on which one, some have better online banking than others. I switched from Wells Fargo few years back and never looked back - the fees were just getting ridiculous for basic stuff
