I am at Educators Credit Union. I love it!! They bent over backwards for me and got me the loans I needed to help pay bills off faster.

I previously had Tri City bank and I was not at all happy with them. I went on a trip to Florida and needed to use an ATM in a pinch. The bank in Florida charged 2 bucks to get the money and then Tri City charged me 5 bucks for using an out of area ATM. :flipoff2: They had lots of strange fees I was always calling to get stuff fees removed and just got sick of it.

Tri City. They always help me out when it comes to fees, I just go in and talk to them. And their online site is plain and very easy to use.

Guaranty Bank. I like the convenient locations and hours (7 days a week). Not sure about the other important stuff, like interest rates though.

Landmark credit union here. They have always had exceptional service to me and everybody else I know who goes there.

Tri City. Their website is awesome. Their ATM fee system sucks, I'll admit, but as long as you're not going to the ATM every day they're not a big deal.

If you happen to be a veteran try USAA. They consistently get awards for the best customer service in the industry. Free ATM's, free interest bearing checking accounts. I can even deposit checks from home. The best ever. I'll never switch.

Landmark is good. They have always been super helpful and don't give you any bull or jerk you around.

I have Associated, and have been very happy with them.

I had Landmark, won't use them again unless in a pinch. They dicked me around so much on a mortgage refi 2 years ago that ended up costing me $500 in nonrefundable fees.

I use Ixonia State Bank. They seem to be alright. They screwed up deposits and withdrawals twice on me though and I had to get them corrected...

Same here. I could not stand how M&I would want to put a fee on damn near everything I did. I went to Waukesha State Bank and they are awesome.

i was at Well's Fargo for everything. I got sick of them catering to the illegals and hitting me with a fee after fee. i now use Horicon Bank for all my stuff. Pretty good i guess, no issues thus far.

+1. I've only had one or two funny charges from Chase in 5 years and they cleared it up on the phone and refunded my money. They even paid a late fee on a bill when their bill pay system didn't get the bill paid in time, although it took a bit more time on the phone. Tons of ATMs in Milwaukee, especially in Walgreens. Overall, I've been satisfied.

I've got Landmark for my car payment and they're pretty good too. I love the fact that they're open late or on Sundays in some locations in case I forget to pay until the last second.

another for chase, they've helped numerous times to correct undue fees and i've never been left feeling shafted.

I also use Prime financial CU for one saving account and pretty happy with them as well

I've had US Bank since I was 16. Never had a problem thus far. Gotten any loans I needed, never any hassles, and really can't complain.

Only thing I don't like is their damn fees for using other peoples ATM's. Otherwise, it's all good.

I like Guaranty. Free checking and the ladies behind the counter are HAWT at my branch. Plus I like having a bank open on Sunday.

I use US Bank, they are Okay, the only reason i use them is i live close to the one in Racine, and when i get my check on fridays(we dont have direct deposit) i can walk to the one next door to us(at Palmen Motors)

Tri City! I left them and it was a big mistake. I was using St. Francis/National City for a while. But they were a load of bullshit. I love Tri City. They have banks in Pick n Save's, 2 are within like 5 mins from my house, and they are open til 8, 7 days a week.

Credit Union all the way.

Far better rates, particularly on vehicle, ATV, motorcycle loans. They will do all kinds of loans that a bank won't touch like older cars, appraised value specialty cars like my Viper, ATVs, personal loans etc. I never even fill out an application, I just call and tell them what I am doing, they chuckle at me that I bought another car or whatever, and they have the papers ready to sign when I stop in...

Cudahy Southshore Credit Union.

My vote goes for Tri City National Bank :thumbsup I had someone grab my bank card number off the net and they helped me resolve it within one day and the fees were reimbursed withing the next business day.
