“Decent”
I've had an account with this bank for many years. Their online banking is the best I've used so far, or maybe I'm just used to it. I use their online bill payment for just about everything. I have checks when that is needed (very rarely) and they have given me a mastercard with a $2500 limit (which I didn't apply for, they just asked me if I wanted it). The only annoyance I've had is great difficulty getting my debit cards sent to me. I have a PO Box which they will not deliver to, even if my mail is being forwarded to it. I know it's good security, but I couldn't even get them to send it to a local branch so I could pick it up in person. You do have to read over their fees and do your banking accordingly to avoid them, but it can be done. In all the years I've used them I've only paid a fee for a foreign (country) transaction on my debit card. That's a bit annoying, but it was less than $2 so ultimately not a big deal. For online bill payment this bank is really the best IMO. They don't charge monthly fees for using the bill pay, although they will charge if you go over 20 payments per month. I've never gone over it and I use it for everything from the light bill to my mortgage payment. They also have email alerts that will tell you when your credit card bill is due and the daily balance on your account. This is very useful for me, it saved me from being ripped off when my debit card number was stolen and used. I would highly recommend this bank for online checking account and bill payments. Not so much for savings though as their rates are pitiful.

“Ridiculous policies”
This is a horrible bank that is riddled with fees and policies that benefit the BANK, and not the customer. Overdraft fees $37. Daily overdraft fees, for a negative balance, $6 per day. They post the biggest to smallest checks, so if there is a problem, they can collect on as many items as possible. If you CLOSE your account, they will REOPEN it, to tack on more fees! FEES FEES FEES FEES FEES FEES. These people must stay up nights, trying to figure out a new fee, if you make a wrong turn. They'll let you overdraft yourself at an atm, or on your debit card (as a COURTESY, as they so call it), and then charge you a million fees. SO, unless you plan on NEVER making a mistake, EVER, I surely wouldn't bank with FIfth Third! Go to a local credit union! They are MUCH MORE fair, and look out for their customers, unlike Fifth Third Bank. BEWARE!
Sorry, your zip code didn't turn up any banks.
