I will never, ever go back to this Fifth Third Bank branch again (5351 S. Semoran Blvd, Orlando, FL 32822). On April 28, 2021 around 4:10 pm I went inside to deposit a check, but the young male teller had this attitude that I was bothering him even though I was the only client there. He refused to accept my check even though it was payable to me. I felt like I was getting service from a third world country. When I got back home I took a picture of the check and sent to ALLY BANK. They accepted my check without any problems and told me there was no reason for the Fifth Third Bank to refuse it. I called the manager from the Fifth Third Bank and explained to her what happened. She began asking me lots of questions of why I have a check from the United States Treasury for over$50,000. I felt like it was none of her business. ALLY BANK didn't ask me any of those questions.

Pros:
- Lots of branches in and around Charlotte, NC
- Easy to sit down face-to-face with a banker at any branch, even during the Covid 19 pandemic
- Quality of service is generally good (certainly better than I would expect from Bank of America or Wells Fargo)
- Fees are pretty easy to avoid
- High quality wealth management and investment services available to individuals with over $100k in assets

Cons:
- Abysmal savings account interest rates. Is 0.02% really the best they can do? Even my local branch manager keeps her savings with American Express. I plan to do something similar shortly.
- Account maintenance fees are just high enough to be annoying for those unable to avoid them.
- Overdraft fees are particularly punitive.
- Quality of service has declined a little in recent years. Before they were absorbed by Fifth Third, First Charter hired some truly excellent bankers. Things have been a bit more hit and miss since then.

Conclusion:

Fifth Third is a good choice if you value convenience and in-person customer service above all else. If you want accounts with high interest rates, you're better off looking elsewhere.

So usually when you want to move money from one bank to another it is easy. No fees and amount limit. Then we have 53 bank.  You are limited to $2000 max in one transaction, $5000 max in a month. And the topper is $3 for every transfer.
I have moved out of State and have no checks I can write so I guess I will have to make a special trip to MI just to get my money. Yes the account will be closed.
