Hi, I don't want to contribute anymore to corporate greed.

I'm not eligible for the state employee credit union - is there another good one that anyone can join? Or a solvent community bank? Thanks

Coastal Federal Credit Union. Just about anybody can join.

I really like SunTrust, but that's MHO

We recently fled from BOA too. Used to have great service and I really trusted them, until I started getting wierd unsolicited calls from India....

We switched to First Citizens and are now getting GREAT service again.

Another vote for First Citizens

Coastal Federal CU. We've been very happy with them. Great credit card too!

Coastal all the way, if you're looking for a credit union. They have been very good to me. As far as banks go, BBT treated me well and they are considered a strong local bank.

My daughter loves Coastal. For many yrs I was a First Citizens customer, loved them. I also know the folks at Capital Bank and Crescent and am impressed with their customer service.
