I use Sharebuilder. They were purchased last year by ING. One of the benefits is that I opened an ING savings account with a 3% interest rate and I can transfer funds to/from Sharebuilder instantly if there is a deal available. I'm looking into setting up a checking account too. They have a pretty good interest rate on that too. I think that my Realtime trades are $4/ea. I have an automatic plan though that includes a number of monthly trades with the monthly fee so they are 'free' to me.
