While that's true in some regard, there are alternatives. I joined a local credit union for my banking over a decade ago and I have never looked back. There is a nationwide network, so I can bank anywhere. I have not noticed much if any difference from investment banks in any negative way. It's nice to know that my money is working in the community and that I'm an owner!
