    There are a million different banks and credit unions to choose from, so which one is your favorite? Why? I don't have a favorite bank, but I know that I hate Chase.

    My least favorite bank is Citibank Online. They put me through a lot of crap. I do like Chase bank though. ;)

    Affinity Federal Credit Union is the best. They have excellent customer service, no fees and I qualify for a low 7.5% Apr on their visa. In more than two decades I've never had a bad experience.

    My favorite bank is First Illinois Credit Union, and that is where I bank. I don't have any fees during the month, and all the ladies are really nice and helpful! Go First Illinois!

    My favorite is Navy Federal Credit Union. I have been with them for almost 20 years. They don't have all those crazy fee's that other banks have, customer service is good and they always offer interesting investment opportunities. I also bank with etrade, I like their bill pay, and the option to create a nice portfolio the one thing about Etrade I hate is " Their Customer Service Agents are Stupid" they do not understand banking in the US so when you speak with them they never can answer your questions. One woman asked me to take a five dollar bill out of the ATM, that is impossible in the US.

    Mine would be Citibank. I've run into some problems here and there with my credit card, but overall, it's a decent experience. I don't have any complaints so far, and I'll be using them for a few more years or so.

    I think credit unions do a much better job servicing their customers. They make banking easy. The downside is that credit unions are almost always smaller and local. Our credit union allows for free atms and refunds fees you get from other banks. This really reduces the disadvantages of the credit union. I want a bank with a good bill pay as well.

    I like TwinStar Credit Union because it has excellent customer service. I like TwinStar Credit Union because the bankers are very fast most of the time, which I don't have to wait in line for a long time.

    I can't say that I have a favorite bank but I have that one bank that rarely dissapoints and is everywhere. This is Barclay's bank. It is a bank that satisfies it's customer's needs, offers business loans at very favourable interest rates and helps you invest in the forex market.
