I don't know where you bank in IL, but most of the banks I am aware of in this
area actually are very good to their consumer accounts.
Examples:
	Bank of Naperville (where I bank, for convienence rather than price)
		free checking if over $400 (we always pay the $5.00)
		unlimited checks/month and no per-check fee
		saving charge only if under $25.00
		free 24-hour tellers, and the number of tellers in the
			system grows regularly.  They belong to the
			OMNI 24-hour system, and also have a 24-hour 
			teller where I work. (Bell labs, naperville)
		balances on demand, free travel service, licence plate service
			many other services.  ($2 for licences, others free)

	Gary-Wheaton Bank
		free checking if over $100
		no per-check fee
		savings charge only if below 25.00
		24-hour tellers, including one at work

	There is another bank locally ( I think it is Heritage Federal ) that
	has free checking without a minimum requirement.  And all the banks
	accept direct-deposit arrangements with our employer or the government
	or nearly any other unit that disperses funds.  Shop around.  If your
	bank doesn't give you the service you want, it doesn't deserve the
	use of your money, no matter how little that may be.
