I need to open a bank account in NYC. Anyone have a preference for which bank offers the best rates/terms for a checking account? Any info would be much appreciated.

I am a new yorker, i like to make things as easy as possible, so no matter what interest rate the bank offers(they are all almost low anyway), i pick the bank that has an ATM inside the hospital that i work. See, i eat out a lot, and constantly need cash. So during residency it would be nice to have the ATM's bank account to save the extra charges. Also, most banks in NYC are pretty good, security wise. I have gotten robbed twice, credit cards stolen, mugged, but the banks took care of it easily.FACS said:I need to open a bank account in NYC.
