I probably come off as a Fidelity shill with how much I've mentioned them on Lemmy, but it's a genuinely good platform for banking. They're not a traditional bank. They're a brokerage that offers checking and savings accounts that you can directly buy/sell securities with.

I moved all my assets to them after Chase pissed me off one too many times and it was the greatest decision I've ever made. Account to account transfers are instant (I've transferred like $60k and they didn't give a fuck) and they front you the money for external incoming transfers that are still in pending. You never have time periods where you can't access your money because it's in the ether that is our antiquated banking system.

No minimums, no transfer fees, no stock/ETF purchase fees, and they pay ATM withdrawal fees automatically (including my $10 ATM fee in Vegas). The one time I had to call them to request a chargeback on my credit card the whole call, including waiting, took 5 minutes.

By far my favorite feature though is you can buy into money market funds like SPAXX in your normal accounts, so you get 5% APY on your money. However, it's still treated as normal USD so any transactions automatically pull from it.
