As a plain human, banking has gotten much worse since the regulations about branch banks loosened, which I think coincided with a big wave of consolidation. My locally owned full service bank got acquired, and that got rolled up into BBVA, which is a terrible experience, where you get fleeced for fines with a smile. Join a credit union, folks.
I suspect these national standards will make banking even shittier for the 90%.
