Looking for feedback on bank recommendations. I've been with a credit union for a number of years, have grown increasingly dissatisfied with their services the past few years, might give a bigger bank a try. Any recommendations and why?

I feel the same way. I think I am going to go to the royal bank-as that is where my mortgage and car loan are. I renewed just this year and they gave me the best interest rates.

I personally recommend RBC. I switch to RBC from Scotia and have not been disappointed. Rbc has good hours and a easy location as well as drive though atm and free e-transfers. I also find their app is extremely user friendly.

We do 90% of our banking with PC Financial, and have our credit card and mortgage through them. Love it, been with them since about 2002 or 2003. No fees, good rates, easy to use, can use any CIBC machine, etc. If you do most of your banking electroncially anyways, it might be a good solution for you.  
 
We also have a Royal Bank account which we keep minimal funds in, for those odd times we actually need a teller (which has been precisely twice in 10 years). We also have a couple of investment products with RBC that PC doesn''t offer. Service is good, but too expensive for day-to-day use in my opinion.  
 
edit: I should clarify that PC does offer a range of investment products, just not some of the ones we needed/wanted.

What credit union you are with. The "W" one?
