Me too. I had a free checking account because the branch was just across the street, had lots of drive-thru lanes, multiple ATMs (inside and outside), and was generally overall convenient. Then they followed another bank that also “went stupid” and started requiring minimum balances, etc, etc, etc. I don’t pay fees for services I don’t need/use. So, I closed the account and went elsewhere. The branch is gone (2020–George Floyd riots–the burned-out Wells Fargo on TV) and they do not have any convenient locations other than the ATM that was at the end of the block (physically separate from the bank branch but connected to the ATM network). The ATM seen being destroyed was in one of the drive-thru lanes. I think there were 3-4+ ATMs at that bank (one inside, 2-3 outside).
