I have accounts with Citizens and Navigant (I have a mortgage with Navigant and they require you to have an account). I haven't had problems with either, but Citizens definitely has better hours and more available branches.

They both have fee-free checking as long as you make one deposit per month. Every Stop & Shop and Cumby's in New England has a Citizens ATM, which is nice. Navigant lets you use other Credit Unions' ATMs without a fee which is nice as well.

TLDR: Citizens is more convenient overall, but Navigant is good if you want to stay with a hyperlocal institution. I definitely feel like more of a person and less of a number with Navigant.

Thank you for this info. I think I'm going to go with Navigant. I'd like to support something somewhat local and the fact that it's free of a checking fee as long as I deposit once a month sounds great. Thanks again!
