When I was looking for a bank to start up a snow-bird account, I picked Wells Fargo because it is located across the country!  So, when I travel, I don't need travelers checks or a lot of extra cash because I can find a Wells Fargo bank and ATm machine!  I mostly travel to see my family, and I use this account to save for my trips and to spoil us all!  The people at this bank have always been very nice!
