ajtj: Well I am hoping Wells Fargo survives. They pioneered online banking and their current online banking and bill pay is the best I've seen and I've seen more than a few. I started using them through Prodigy in the mid to late eighties, still in the DOS days. Prodigy used to be "the" portal to the internet, initially a joint venture between Sears and IBM.
Of course, AOL with its mass mailing of CD's with images to upload, took over the lead because in those days everyone was using dial-up and having most of the images already loaded on your PC made the experience much faster.
Prodigy also offered the first online brokerage which was initially through Wells Fargo. When Wells Fargo got out of the brokerage business, the accounts were transferred to DLJ.
Of course Wells Fargo eventually got back into the brokerage business, they have WellsTrade now...
