I'm going to be getting a new checking account soon and wanted to see what recommendations people might have on banks. I'm going to be in Austin, so either big chains or local Austin banks are viable. I've had a Wells Fargo account in the past, which has been ok, but I won't be eligible for their college checking account and thus can't get free Bill Pay.

I'm looking for:
  • Free online banking
  • Free bill pay
  • No account fee (or waived with *small* balance)
  • Provides Visa-backed debit card (pretty much everyone)
  • Don't give a flip about savings, because I already have my ING Direct account for that
  • Don't care if it's interest-bearing, because those interest rates are always tiny anyways
  • Preferably good customer service, but lack of crazy hidden fees is a higher priority than that
