Had to pick between a local credit union and a big national bank for my business account

I needed a business checking account for my landscaping company and was torn between the lower fees at my local credit union and the wider ATM network of a big bank. I went with the credit union to save the $15 monthly fee, but now I'm driving 20 minutes to deposit cash. Did I make the right call, or is the convenience worth the extra cost?

Totally get that choice, honestly did the same thing with my food truck account last year. Ngl, that monthly fee adds up fast and the credit union people actually know my name. Tbh the drive for cash deposits is a pain but I just plan it around other errands now. Feels better keeping that money in my pocket instead of some big bank's.

Read an article saying credit unions are basically non-profits so they actually give profits back to members, not shareholders.

How much do you hate that drive every month?
