I've gone through my fair share of banks, as many people have. Never have I had an account make so much sense as the one opened at Kitsap Bank. There aren't many branches, so convenience may be a little less than desired, but you definitely pay for convenience when you do get it. Kitsap's numbers and mine match up every time, and when I have a fee, I actually understand it. I'm very happy with my account, which is a Free Checking account. While there is a fee for receiving a paper statement, it's very simple to opt in to e-statements for a truly free experience.
Over the last couple of years Kitsap bank has inexplicably frozen my checking account around 4 times - I've been in a store ready to pay and bam card declined so I call the 24 hour online support sing and dance down to genetic validation of my identity
So in the here and now I recently found a charge from an entity I've never shopped with or even heard of before so I mark it questionable. And without any warning message my account is once again frozen. Unfortunately my rent is overdue and sitting in my account- I called the bank I started the account in begging for help and agreed to pay $120 for an expedited overnight delivery on a new debit card....2 days later no card
I demanded they return the $120 to my account and no response- they haven't responded to any of my messages
If you're looking for a good bank keep walking past this one
Wants to charge a research fee to see my statements even though I have my account number.
