    I'm with you

    I bank at Suntrust (another stupid, generic corporate name), which bought out Crestar a few years back. But I only banked with Crestar because that's where my mom banked and where I opened an account as a teenager. I almost switched last year after Suntrust tried to charge me some BS fees, but like you, I was too lazy to bother once they sorted it out. I almost went to PNC, which opened a branch that was very convenient to me, but that is now something else entirely.

    I'm actually struggling to think of ANY company I use regularly whose demise would bother me in any real way, other than the inconvenience. Nope...nothing.
