We are with Capital One but I am planning to switch to small local credit union. I would am tired of the bank trying to fleece me with fees. My son had a charge pending on his account so when he checked his balance it said he had money but when he used the card the charged him $35 a transaction. Ended up costing him over $300 to spend less than $30. Now it is his fault he let his account go negative but that should not mean it is open season from the bank to rape him.

Yeah, do more of what made folks mad enough to pass a federal law and kill your stock price.

Hopefully this means no-one will dare do that here, having seen the reaction.

Can't believe they're still in business. They are a shame to the human race. *NM*

You mean BoA, not banks in general, right?

Maintaining a modest sum of money in checking/savings/CDs obviates this charge and most others

Right. It's not an issue if the combined total meets BoAs requirement.

Yes, but griping about pains arising from symptoms does nothing to cure the disease.

As long as account holders indefinitely surrender enough of their money for the bank to invest?

No. I mean BoA doesn't want to have clients who cost money rather than make money for the bank.

Well, charging people $5/month to use their own money will not accomplish that goal.

Sure it will. They'll pay the fees or they'll leave. Either way BoA wins on that front.

I suppose, if turning the departure of account holders into a stampede counts as "winning."

If it's limited to the targeted account holders, the unprofitable ones, then it is winning.

But the targeting is determined by how much money account holders semi-permanently loan banks.

Love my credit union, I would never use a bank if I absolutely didn't have too. Go CUs!
