Are there great banks anymore?

I imagine that there are some in this group that may have some complexity to their banking needs/infrastructure. For example, a mortgage, a few accounts, a company or two, with their accounts. Acquisition financing, lines of credit etc. While we have some fantastic bankers for particular products, or even for particular industries, I was sort of hoping to find a 'topco' type relationship. I am hoping there's something like First Republic (RIP) out there somewhere. If any in this group know of, or work with, a bank that has all (or most) of the below, I'd love to meet them.
- Human relationship interface
- Good/usable web interface
- Competitive personal banking stuff (Mortgage, HELOC, etc)
- Competitive corporate banking items (decent treasury options, easy ACH/wire setup, fraud/positive pay, etc)
