City Bank (TX)

Best banks are local banks

I have been a customer with City Bank since 2004. They offer a free checking account with a free debit card and free checks with no minimum requirements. It is very hard to find a bank or credit union that does not charge you for at least one of those items. A few years ago, they launched a mobile app that won a national award. I love their app. I use it to view all of my accounts with them and to do mobile deposits. I can easily cancel my debit card if I lose it, increase the withdrawal limit, and activate foreign transactions with a touch of a button. Their customer service is fantastic. If I call or email, I am promptly helped and always given a solution to my issue. Even when I go in person, they know me by name. Their fees are also lower than the national average. I am won over by their wonderful service and the attention they give me as a customer that I refuse to leave their bank. Even when I moved to Germany, they were still my main bank. I was able to do everything via email if the need arose.
