A third of adults with bank accounts (32%) have considered moving their account from a large national bank to a community bank or credit union because they are unhappy with the policies or behavior of national banks, according to Zogby. Another 14% have already moved some of their banking business from a large bank to a community bank or credit union.
Where Americans bank is largely driven by the type of community in which they live: 46% of those in cities use a large national bank for their primary banking needs, compared to 33% in suburbs, and 18% in rural communities. [Finance]
