What is the best bank in Chicago for checking and savings accounts?
I want to switch from Citibank to a new bank in Chicago. I live downtown and there are so many options. There are very large banks, such as Chase, and then there are smaller banks, such at Fifth Third Bank. All I need are a checking account and a savings account. Any suggestions?

Visit a few banks and pick the one with the best customer service. ALL banks offer essentially the same products.

Don’t know any banks in chicago, but for savings ING is really good and they pay a high interest rate.
