Santander is moving in on banks all over. I've kept an account with Banco Serfin in Hermosillo Sonora for years and now it's Banco Santander Serfin. Oh well, I don't use it much as I'm not traveling there like I used to.
I despise BOA. Moved everything to my local credit union and never looked back. As far as small local banks are concerned I don't think they're a good long term solution as I can't help but suspect that what they're all hoping for is a juicy buy-out from one of the big boys.
