I used Bank United and Qualia for my last title agency. I loved Bank United. Their service was outstanding, the integration & reconcilliation service with Qualia was hugely valuable, and I never once had a problem with not having a local branch.
In fact, since there aren't local branches, my banking experience was far supierior to when I was using a smaller regional bank. Here's why. In PA, closings rarely happened in my office. I was over expected to travel to the real estate office, bank branch or borrowers home. Which means I could be anywhere at all hours of the day and evening, with a check in hand that needed to be deposited. Mobile deposit value limited frequently prevented me from doing a mobile deposit with settlement funds. So that leaves me with trying to find the nearest branch of my bank to get a deposit done same day, which often meant driving well out of my way instead of just going straight back to my office. But with Bank United, they had me fully set up for handling transactions without a branch. I had higher limits for mobile deposit and I had a machine in my office with which I could scan and deposit checks. It was great!
I'd also like to mention that while at ALTA One I met the folks from Metropolitan Commercial Bank and they blew me away with their knowledge of the title industry and our unique needs. They left me with zero doubts about their ability to provide exceptional service to title agents. (I wrote a bit about that here, if you're interested.)

Does anyone bank with Chase bank and in the past day now NOT been able to add in new people to wire without having to get one million codes? They told me now that all new recipients need to be added via a MOBILE device or in the branch. Before I go insane and switch banks, wanted to ask around. Our banker has no idea.
