Well, it varies from bank to bank.  On my street, there are four
banks (within a block and a half of my apartment!) - two "big"
banks (F-U and Summit) and two smaller area banks.

The big banks do everything in their power to attract a clientele
composed of individuals with lots of money and companies with lots
of money and/or geographic scope.  The smaller banks do everything
in their power to attract a clientele composed of businesses and
individuals with strong interests in their own area, money or no.

Needless to say, my wife and I have all our accounts (5? 6? 7?) at
one of the small ones!
