I like Albank[formerly Albany Savings].  I have a checking account there which:
Is charged 5.00/month if the average monthly balance is below 500
Earns a small interest if the average monthly balance is >= 500
No charges for ATM from the Albank ATM's
1.00 charge for withdrawals other ATMS[no charge for inquiries that I know of]
No per-check processing charge[on this type of account.  They have another
account with a lower monthy balance, no interest, and 10 cents a check]
No charges for getting a list of the activity on your account for any time period
up to 3 months[I've never asked for one past 3 months].
And lastly, convenient for me, is branches from Albany down to Poughkeepsie.
Convenient for a shared account between me[I work and live during the week
in Poughkeepsie] and my SO[who goes to school and lives in Troy].  Also
convenient when I went to school there as my parents could deposit
money directly into my account. :-)
