| What do you all think about your bank? Just today I closed up my UBS account, which completes my switch to Credit Suisse. (Long story short: UBS wronged me. A poorly timed error cost me time and money. So I moved my accounts.) Over a beer, more than one friend has said something like ‘they are all the same’ or such. But, I am wondering what you all think? Maybe I’ll switch again, maybe someone new to CH will find this valuable. Let the voting begin! | |

I have accounts with both(!) but I'll shortly be closing the UBS one and transferring all the dosh to the CS.
CS have great online banking facilities and have always been really helpful whenever there are problems. I haven't bothered much with the UBS one, it was compulsory so I had to take it, but I can't report any problems with it.
No problems with either bank transacting in English (through written correspondance or on the phone), though in smaller branches you might not find someone who can speak English.
UBS _seem_ to have more ATM machines located in convenient places but that could be a localised phenomenon.
Basically, go for the one that offers you the best deal (and consider all the banks, not just the big two). There are ridiculous charges here unless you have really large amounts of residual cash in your account. Maybe you can play them off against each other.
