thanks.

Pathmark by Lowes has machines

definitely do not need an account at commerce to use this service.

it's one of their gimmicks.

i believe that commerce has 2 coin machines at that 5th ave location, and all you do it take your receipt up to a teller after.

just noticed my change jar is getting mighty heavy too....will be over there sometime this week as well!

There's a Coinstar machine at Key Foods on Fifth. If you get your money in a voucher (I like amazon.com) you don't get charged for anything.

I'd just like to take a moment to say that in general, Commerce pretty much rules. They're open on Sundays and holidays (except Xmas and Thanksgiving), they are open later than most banks during the week, AND I've had nothing but great experiences in terms of customer service.

You can even use a Commerce card at other banks and ATMs and they don't charge you. Also, I used it during my trip to Portugal to withdraw Euros and I did not get charged any foreign transaction fees.

i do all my banking at commerce and they are definitely a cut above the rest.

i believe if you keep a minimum balance of maybe 1500, you get reimbursed for non-commerce atms. the checking account is free and easy, the already discussed coin machines are great, and as someone said, they have terrific hours, open both saturday and sunday, i believe.

the one up near my work is open till 8pm M-Th and MIDNIGHT on fridays!

for a bank, they aren't half bad.

If you elect to get cash, they have a $50 cutoff, but they'll take more than one slip at a time. If you have more than $50 in change, be sure to split it up.
