From: "Glenn Meadows" 

Well, I'm moving my accounts from BofA to a smaller local bank.  Same Visa
Check card, same number of ATM's around, and their local branch is nice
"country friendly" folks.  After only going into the branch 3
times, they knew my name.  The only thing is that I wish their transfer
from one account to another via online banking was instant.  At BofA it is.
 Transfer X $$$ from account A to account B, and it instantly shows in both
the online balances, and the ATM balance.  Where I'm moving to, it happens
at the end of the business day as a batch update.  Just have to plan a
little further in advance. .
