I just can't change banks right now, but I'll need to, soon.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
It looks like they are going to start charging $15/month if you aren't carrying $6K in the bank with them.
The penalty for being too small to care about?

Apparently.
And of course I bet I don't get extra credit (npi) for my student loans and credit card with them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've been half-watching romantic movies all afternoon, and...barf. I think this one may be supposed to be a rom com since it's on HBO Comedy (Leap Year), but it's so dry and schmaltzy.
Makes me appreciate What's Your Number? even more.

Jesse, you might? Well, maybe not the credit card.
What I'm wondering is how the online bill pay is for any of the credit unions? Because that's really the thing I use/like most about BofA, that and the fact that I can use ATMs wherever when I'm traveling.

I have online bill pay and edeposits with my credit union and they have worked just fine. While they don't have the vast network of ATMs, they reimburse me for any ATM fees.

Our credit union is utterly wonderful except the complete non-online presence. We can't do any online bill pay at all.

Thrive to spite them
Meara - both my old credit union and my new CU have online bill pay.
My new one (which actually serves fewer people) has was to track your spending --kinda like Mint or Quicken but built in and you can add other cards/accounts.
They also offer tranfers, text banking & notifications, Mobile Web Banking and more stuff I haven't explored yet.
My previous CU had a rewards points program for the debit AND credit cards and you can redeem the points for good stuff too - one of Mom's friends used it to get an ipod Touch and I just got a bunch of Lands' End gift cards.
My current CU pays a percentage back. My bank account isn't that big so it's only $.68 for this month but it's still free money.
I don't know how banks work, but when I had to replace my CC with my old CU it was a 10 minute wait in the lobby and they brought me a new one. I got my new Debit Card at the new credit union on the spot. The only thing I had to wait for was the checks.
Plus you only need to keep $25 in savings account to activate the account and keep an account open.
