Chase is busy moving into Valencia's most elite address right now, becoming the first national brand to open up along the street in years. I guess the effort to petition the Board of Supervisors to stop the bank didn't work out?

You know what would be even better for the community? Joining a local credit union that reimburses all ATM fees.

This. I know it's a big bad evil corporation and everything but.... as a Chase customer, I hated that all their locations were in a 1 mile radius surrounding me. So I'm stoked on this. Sorry everyone else.

I want to join a credit union, but I need a bank where I am able to deposit checks several times a week without going horribly far out of my way.

You go to a physical bank to deposit checks? Wow, what's it like living in the 90's?

At the above-mentioned CU you can deposit them via smartphone, or at a branch of practically any other CU. There is literally no reason to keep your money in a big sleazy bank these days.

Dude. I use a credit union and for ages now I've been able to deposit checks by taking a picture with my phone. I think this is pretty standard these days?
