The $39 fee my bank hit me with that made me finally try a broker account

I was all about my big bank for 5 years, but after they charged me $39 for a wire transfer I could've done free through my new broker, I switched everything over and honestly the only thing I miss is the physical branch, so for those of you who've made the jump, what made you go back or stay?

Switched mine over last year after the same kind of fee nonsense. Kept one tiny savings account at the old bank just in case, and honestly that's been enough. The branch thing sounds nice but I've needed it exactly zero times since. Mobile check deposit and free wires beat a teller for me every day. Only way I'd go back is if they matched the broker's fees and paid me interest. Still not holding my breath on that one.
