Wrestling with your Bank

Over the past few months there have been a number of changes in the personal/small business banking world. Fees are popping up and banks are changing terms and conditions. I am not sure about you but myself and a number of my colleagues find this extremely confusing and frustrating. In a perfect world everything would work seamlessly with your finances (with WorkingPoint here to help!) but unfortunately this is not always the case. If you are contemplating switching banks, or simply have an interest in knowing how you should have a look at this informative article from the guys over at Consumerism Commentary. It is a checklist of things to do if you want to make a change.

Have a look at: http://www.consumerismcommentary.com/bank-switch-kit-checklist/

In addition if you are looking for a new account here are a few URLs that might be helpful, they helped me out a lot when I made the switch (I was tired of ATM fees!):

Find a Better Bank: http://www.findabetterbank.com – fill in a quick questionnaire and get a list of banks that fit the bill – easy! It shows local and web-based options.

Google Advisor: https://www.google.com/advisor/home – filter by features. You can compare Credit Cards, CDs, Checking and Savings accounts.

Have you recently made a switch? Have you find something amazing that you want to share? Let us know in the comments!

Thanks,
