Banking

People who live in Boston area, can any of you recommend to me a good bank? I'm mostly interested in not paying too much (or anthing) for my checking account, and having a fair supply of ATMs to withdraw from. Bonus if it's a national or international chain.

Fleet/Bank of Boston/Baybank/BankBoston has changed names often to shake the trail of disenchanted customers. They're terrible. Their policy — and this is stated policy — is to make their money off low-income customers because they're most likely to incur fees. So they fee the living shit out of you. Which, of course, incurs fees.

Now it's called Bank of America. Flee the fees!
