    Use a brokerage like Fidelity as your bank instead of these fuckers at Chase and BofA who don’t respect you despite you giving them your money.

    Doesn’t have to be Fidelity, but in the current day if you’re not getting the following from your bank you’re getting fucked:

    • $0 minimum balance, $0 in account fees
    • No overdraft fees
    • Minimum 4% APY on savings, minimum 2% APY on checking
    • ATM fee reimbursement
    • Instant transfers between your own accounts
    • Access to direct deposits even while they’re still pending

      Where does one get something like this in the U.S.?

      no min balance, no fees, interest on checking?

      I was under the impression that didn’t exist.

        Fidelity is who I use since they also have my portfolio, but SoFi and many others also provide similar services.

      These are some of the most basic features for the UK.

        They’re pretty basic here too. That doesn’t mean there aren’t scummy ass banks that still don’t offer them, and rely on the company name to get customers. Many old banks don’t offer most of this unfortunately, and most people don’t go looking for new banks often and get screwed.

          Basic finance is easily one of the most important life skills anyone can pick up, right ght besides cooking and understanding when people might not have your best interest in mind.
