motherjones:

Resolved: The amount of swag a bank gives out to 18-month-olds in exchange for you opening an account is inversely proportional to the quality of the service at said bank. As MoJo’s Josh Harkinson writes, “When I challenge a Wells Fargo banker to give me one good reason not to move my money over to a credit union, he really can’t.”

Did we mention today is National Bank Transfer Day?

I received one of these when I opened up a Wells Fargo account my senior year of college. I remember holding it in my arms, momentarily perplexed, before depositing it at my boyfriend’s house, obliquely referencing it on the rare occasions I mentioned stuffed animals.
