I would like to open business account for my start-up. I would like to know which one is the best: does it help entrepreneurs with advices? cheap/free accounts? other incentives?

We went with Washington Mutual. Not only is it very convenient to our location, but they have been very nice to deal with. Granted, we don`t have that much interaction with them, so maybe they are actually horrible to deal with!

We have not been happy with Wells Fargo or BofA in our personal banking experience, so we specifically steered clear of them when it came to our business banking...

Washington Mutual or Capital One I like

Wells Fargo not so much. The others I don`t know.

I love my local banks - I`m all about service and that`s what they provide.

All local banks I have directed questions to have replied within 1 business day. All "large" banks have yet to reply giving them the losing record and losing my business.

I use WAMU. I will pick them any day over BofA and Wells Fargo.
