No Free checking + Job cuts = Poor Service and Higher Fees. Time for a Directo account!

Job cuts at banks means even less service to go along with the increase fees we've already seen. Directo is the low-cost choice that allows you (and if you're a business manager or owner, your employees) to bank when and where you want to bank, and with FREE bilingual customer service.

The Wall Street Journal said analysts expect banks to reduce operating costs by as much as 20% over the next few years "as they struggle to put their bad loans behind them, adjust to a raft of costly regulations and increase revenue in challenging economic conditions."
