Citibank does have great services, but all banks are crooks (just like the insurance companies). Find a good credit union.

Citibank’s technology is quite good, and provides an excellent array of services (want to do an international wire transfer from your personal checking account — no problem). _Far_ better than any other bank I’ve had (Fleet, Bank of America, Chase, WaMu, Wells Fargo, Sovereign, ING, …).

Of course, as far as their management they, like all large banks, are an absolute disgrace. But their technology is solid — best ATMs, best on-line banking, etc.

“Too big to fail, too big to exist.” Rinse. Repeat. I’ve been delving into BioTech for investment purposes. There’s far more innovation (and shenanigans, to be fair) in the small ones than the large ones. OTOH, I and other more well known writers have been asking the base question: what purpose is served the polity by “innovation” in financial services. Except for for some Right WingNuts (who might have an agenda), the conclusion is None. So, even if “innovation” were desirable in FS, you won’t get it from the elephants. How about a public credit union? Here in New England, such are fairly common and didn’t get involved in “innovation” are remain stable.

Planning to dump Chase for my 401k (it was moved there by my former employer) for similar reasons.

Through the years I’ve had good luck with Wells Fargo, FWIW.
