Debit Card Fee Means Goodbye Bank of America

Bank of America has been my bank for many years, but the newly announced debit card fees are the last straw.  It is going to be a pain in the butt to change banks, however.  I have a lot of automatic payments and online bills paid through Bank of America.  Even though the new fee amounts to about $5 a month, I've had enough of this bank.  We got a BofA loan when we bought our foreclosure in Florida, and they were horrible to deal with.  There are plenty of other banks out there that have free debit cards.  I don't need to be nickel and dimed by these bastards anymore.
