If you feel like the big banks are treating you like a number and you are in the mood to deal with smaller, more customer oriented banks, please check out Arianna Huffington’s, (co-founder of The Huffington Post), campaign to inspire people to move their money to community banks.

Covered in more than 150 media outlets and endorsed by major celebrities including Bill Maher, Michael Moore and Alan Cumming, the Move Your Money project was created to encourage individuals and institutions to divest from the nation’s largest Wall Street banks and move to local financial institutions.

I would add one thing - don’t overlook the value of credit unions, which are all about serving their members. Redwood Credit Union here in Sonoma County, CA is one of the best credit unions I have ever been a member of.
