yeah ... I certainly would not be dealing with any banks that charged ME to receive wies ...

I am a credit union member. Slightly different from banks. I "buy" shares in the credit union, which allow me (as an owner) to attend semi-annual meetings to vote on any changes to services, fees, etc.

I currently own $1100 in shares, which also allows me instant approval of loans of up to 10 times the amount of my shares ($11,000). I have UNLIMITED deposits and withdrawls, and no monthly maintenence fees. I can get Canadian or US money orders for $1.00 (plus exchange rate if applicable)

Hell ... the credit union PAYS ME $0.05 for each cheque I write, and when I run out of cheques, they send me basic personalized cheques(box of 4x50 cheques) for FREE.

I would suggest anybody that has a beef with their bank to check into credit union requirements in your area. I have dealt with the Credit Union for 8 years now, and do not miss my bank at all !!

(PS- the money you invest in shares earns interest at GIC rates)
