<div>with the bank crisis going on - and some banks in trouble (notably the one I currrently bank with - Washington Mutual) I am shopping for another bank. I am hopelessly out of date with what makes a good bank besides the fact they have a lot of ATMs and nice people in customer service - does anyone have recommendations? I am assuming here that all the big banks have their hands dirty with oil and human rights abuses associated with investments in other countries, but if there's ones that's better than the others - that'd be nice to know too.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>any and all recommendations are gratefully accepted.</div>
<div>Thanks!<br>G</div></div><br>
