Not Recommended For Poor College Students

Young adults/teens who are looking to open a bank account just to put a few dollar bills in there should stay faraway from Wells Fargo. I've opened an account here sometime in April of 2009, just yesterday I was forced to close it and move to another bank. I'm a very poor student with no job so I live on allowance. There's no way in hell I can have $1500 + $500 Direct Deposit and expect that large amount of money to just sit on my account unused. I could do so much with $1500 including paying bills/debt, rent an apartment, buy food, entertainment, etc. Why would I bother to let WF sit with that large amount of money just to save me nearly $10 on fees? It's ridiculous.

I loved WF and they've served me well in the past couple years I've been with them. But they're better off for the rich/wealthy people like those living in Hollywood or Beverly Hills. For the poor and middle class, they're better off going to some other bank that offers $2 in fees or are still clinging onto the free checking deal. Good bye WF, you've been good to me. But now, my relationship with you has ended. Goodbye!
