I changed my bank because it didn't have proper customer service and also it was kind of very old fashioned bank. they didn't know anything about online banking or phone banking. their working style was of stone age.

Yes, I have changed my bank due to certain behaviors that I was not really appreciating. Firstly, I have asked them to change my address. But to my horror, the address was not hanged even after 1 month and when I ordered for a check register, it was delivered to the old address. Also, they have put on high fees for maintaining the account with their financial organization. Though I have asked them couple of times to change my profile and add a new account, it was not done and my account was flooded with unnecessary charges.
Now banks with Wells Fargo
Rates Wells Fargo a 4
1/13/2012 I changed banks because I was offered a better deal by another bank. My bank decided to double charges on their monthly fee. The other bank is smaller and offered better deals.

Now banks with Chase
Rates Chase a 5
1/25/2012 i changed my bank because the last one i was at forced too many things upon me. i was being charged service fees and monthly balance fees. the fees really bothered to the point where i felt this bank was doing more harm than good to me. i researched and saw a few banks where they didnt charge fees so i decided to give them a shot. so far my new bank is better. overall i changed banks because i dont want to pay them just to hold my money for me because if thats the case i will keep it at home with me rather than give my hard earned money away
