Best Place to Bank in Chicago Burbs?

[Forrest Williams]

I'm looking to change banks. Does someone have recommendations for good options in the Chicago area, especially in the burbs? I would like to avoid a big chain like Wells Fargo and use something like a credit union. Switching from Marquette. Maybe you hate your bank, I wouldn't mind knowing that too. Thanks to any responses.

Schwab and Fidelity tend to be the best. Fidelity has a no annual fee 2% cash back credit card and their atm card refunds all atm fees even when your out of the country using any banks atms, I save hundreds a year between their ATM refunds and the 2% back on every dollar I charge to a credit card. Sometimes big banks are the best. For financing real estate I have never seen a lender care where you bank, they just want to see proof of funds regardless what bank big or small holds it.
