Agreed. At least from a consumer standpoint. I use an online only bank account after switching. And there's plenty out there. Better service, fewer fees, and without a physical "bank" location in the traditional sense it can keep costs lower. Haven't looked back. I don't need a physical bank to accomplish 99.9% of my banking needs. With offerings like Ally, Simple, etc I think the traditional and big banks will only be necessary for non consumer facing stuff: large investments, mass ACH, trading (including high frequency stuff), etc
