Any bank recommendations?
It may be time for me to change banks.
I am looking for a bank that tolerates firearm owners, and has branches around Houston and the rest of Texas.
Does anyone have any thoughts they would like to share?

Business or personal?
None of my local Chase branches are posted and I've been very happy with their servicing of my business accounts for more than a decade.
I do not OC into banks, however. So I can't speak to their tolerance for OC.

Haven't been inside a bank in more than 5 years since switching to USAA. Every thing is done on-line. They pay ATM fees when you use another bank's ATM. I understand that the head office in San Antonio is posted though. Never been there. They are great to work with over the phone.

I don't OC. Many places consider it a 'dress code' violation.
Wells Fargo & Chase have branches all around me.

I bank with Wells Fargo for in-person banking. I also bank with USAA's online bank.
I carry openly as my default method. Every time I speak with a teller or bank officer, I have my M&P M2.0 9mm 5inch on my hip.
I have experienced good customer service at all of the branches I have visited in central Texas.

Re: Any bank recommendations?
I had everything in Bank of America for Years. Mortgage, Checking and wife's account. Everything was free, but the started charging for everything with surcharges on top of surcharges. Paid off the mortgage and moved everything into Texas First. They don't charge me for anything, pay back a little interest, and cashback on their bank card. Very nice people I was even introduced to the Bank President when he came for a visit. It's been about 5 years and I haven't had any problems.

Re: Any bank recommendations?
Wells Fargo may be gun friendly, but I don't like the way they do business. Apparently, neither does the government.

I bank local and stay away from the national chains. They know me when I walk in the door, and help me when I need it. That may be difficult to impossible in Houston though.

Re: Any bank recommendations?
Spirit of Texas Bank has offices near where I worked before retirement but not all that close to home.
How do online banks handle signature cards? (On the other hand, why do I care? I've only written 3 or 4 checks this year.)
I very rarely go inside a bank. I do all my business, online or at the ATM.
This fall I got a car loan from Wells Fargo because they offered the best rate.
