I'll second that - and in their further defense, they seem to have the
most small-consumer-friendly account fees and policies of any of the
banks around here.  After having two separate independent banks
swallowed up by big ones (first Sovran->Nationspank, then Columbia
First->First Union) I found there weren't any other indies with branches
near my home or office, so I checked out Citibank - they offered a
no-fee no-minimum checking account, free PC banking, and also are pretty
convenient to deal with - you don't need deposit slips when you make
deposits in person (just swipe your card), for example.

After getting charged from $8-$15 per month at the aforementioned other
big banks for the privilege of having a checking account under a grand,
and actually being charged once for using a live teller at First Union,
among other insults, Citibank was refreshing to discover.  Hope they
don't follow the big-bank trend, and stay friendly.
