Changing banks

I think I am going to ditch my relationship with TCF bank and go to a credit union.

I WAS with a credit union for a little while on one account--long story--and I was happy with them, but moved back to TCF bank because I had several accounts with them. But I'm angry enough at the new $10 a month fee on the TCF joint account because I don't move my money in and out enough to suit them. I'll be damned if I'm going to dance to their tune.

We switched a couple of weeks ago. Our bank got taken over by Chase several years ago, and they've just gotten worse and worse with the customer service and nickel-and-diming us and terrible money market interest rates, so we switched over to a local credit union which had handled a couple of auto loans for us.
