You know, those big marble halls at big banks may look impressive, but the fact is that they’re paid for by the customers. They just aren’t necessary anymore. You’re much better off with online checking accounts nowadays. I mean with the rates most big banks pay you, you’re not even keeping up with the huge rate of inflation in this country. Not even close. You’re actually losing money in real terms. Not exactly the sort of reward you’d like to get for saving. I’ve been checking out Capital One Bank Online. They’re a pretty good deal. Low fees, good rates, good access. And I can use any bank’s ATM. I know some people have issues with not being able to meet their bankers in person, but honestly I don’t really care about that. In fact, I think most people would be better off switching to an online bank. Until next time.
