They don't issue a lot of the fees you see other banks issue and they didn't dabble in the BS investments that got the big banks in trouble. They've always been fair to deal with and my experience with them have always been better than other banks I've done business with. Whatever you do, stay the hell away from Wells Fargo. That institution hates it's customers I swear yet they still stay in business somehow. I don't get it.
I should add that we have had a few car loans with local credit unions and checking accounts as well since it's required to be a member to get loans and have had good experiences. I too have been considering getting more vested with a credit union so I'll be following this thread closely for some more first hand information on them.
