<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ChesterCoperPot, post: 1368498, member: 25391&quot;]Merc, I was looking at PNC&#039;s website last night.&nbsp; Is it true that they offer a free checking account with no monthly service fee, no account minimums?&nbsp; I&#039;m just curious if you might know?&nbsp; I figure I would just keep $100 in there to make them happy if that&#039;s the case.</p><p><br /></p><p>I started looking around at other banks to open accounts with whether it be for receiving or dumping, and it seems that most &#039;free&#039; checking accounts now will get charged for a monthly maintnance fee or charged if you don&#039;t hold a certain minimum balance, or make enough transactions, or have a direct deposit.</p><p><br /></p><p>I use TCF for my dumps, and they just started charging $9/month for a maintance fee.&nbsp; 5th 3rd was doing this too, but I closed my account with them altogether.&nbsp; I&#039;ve found their branches in the Chicago-area to be the most rude and sales driven.&nbsp; I currently order from BOA.&nbsp; And I pick up at a lot of Chases as well.&nbsp; But would like to throw in another bank for ordering and using some of their branches for dumps as well.&nbsp; I have to scout out the PNCs around here more, but I think a lot of them have coin counting machines in the lobbies like TCFs do.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Back to the matter at hand though.&nbsp; Having a lot of &#039;free&#039; checking accounts with different banks all adds up at the end of the year in service fees.&nbsp; But I was figuring it gives me more opportunity to get more silver, and if say I have 3 banks each charging $7-10/month for a monthly maintance fee b/c I don&#039;t meet their minimum amounts, or no direct deposit, etc.&nbsp; That could be about $340/year.&nbsp; I&#039;d rather only carry 2 if that&#039;s the case, not happy about fees, but I figure all the silver would out weigh the fees.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
