How I did it: Quite simple.  I chose a credit union whose only requirement to join was living in the county where I do.  I deposited a check from my savings, then I had to wait a week until I could start paying bills from the account.

To avoid being charged a monthly fee, all I had to do was sign up for my statements via e-mail.  How great is that?  (The Big Bad Bank had so many hoops to jump through to avoid a fee, it would make your head spin!)
