<prompt> Human: As the title states, looking for a new bank or credit union. Currently with Wells Fargo but want to move to something else. Two things, first can anyone recommend a Seattle area Edmonds specifically to go with. Second, more generally what should I look for in a new place? Thanks in advance!  <response>: Highly recommend BECU Its free as long as youre a resident in WA. I really dont understand why people choose banks over credit unions. Credit unions are typically nonprofits where all the members are members of a co-op. There are no fees for membership, and the only difficult thing about them is who qualifies to be a memberbut thats not a problem with BECU.
