CSR for credit card. Schwab for no ATM fee checking out. I use a credit union to actually bank with since I hate major banks (Chase, BofA, Wells). I have no problem with CSR since I get more in rewards than annual fee from them.

Check out the points guy if you want to get comparisons for credit card points. Chase and Capital One are pretty popular.

I switched to Schwab a dozen years ago for banking and brokerage and haven’t looked back. Evaluate credit cards separately - some card issuers have very good rewards cards but outdated banking options and lots of fees.

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
