A question for US residents:

Who do you bank with? Do you have good challenger banks in your area?

For reference, I really like Starling Bank here in London. No bricks and mortar, just a great app that lets me use fiat for when bills must be paid.

Thanks Steven. BitCoin is an amazing tool, but it’s not really a bank. I can’t pay my taxes or rent from Electrum SV.

A friend uses Charles Schwab (online only) and swears by it.

First try to find a way into USAA. Not only great customer service & mobile app, but when all the banks run to papa for handouts in the next finan'l crisis (soon), USAA has such a huge proportion of military they are safe place to keep money. IBKR 4 stocks

Bro that's your problem I paid rent for years and even paid a mortgage with bitcoin.

That’s great Steven. The mortgage itself must’ve been issued by a bank though.

It was actually issued by a private seller.
