The 8 least evil banks

6 of 9

PNC

PNC, which has branches in 15 states and Washington, D.C., offers a checking account without a minimum balance requirement or monthly maintenance fee.

ATM withdrawals are free at any of PNC's 6,000-plus ATMs, and the bank reimburses non-PNC ATM fees if you carry a $2,000 average monthly balance.

One downside: PNC branches and ATMs are mainly concentrated in the Northeast and East, so it may not be your best option if you live out West.
