Our Take
TD trades on convenience, and if you live on the East Coast the long hours and seven-day branches are genuinely useful. Complete Checking with a paycheck is free and the bonuses recur. Skip Essential unless you're a teenager, since paying $4.95 forever for a checkless account is a bad deal when Capital One gives it away. Beyond is only worth it if the $2,500 balance unlocks the ATM rebates you'd actually use.
Best for: East Coasters who actually visit branches and value weekend hours
