Right. It's not an issue if the combined total meets BoAs requirement. Vodalus Send a noteboard - 01/10/2011 02:33:15 AM
The responses seem overblown and entirely too emotional.

So, you're saying that if one maintains a comfortable amount of money in one's accounts, this isn't an issue? But if one is not capable of keeping a "modest" sum in the bank, it is? Wouldn't you say the latter is more likely to be keen on keeping every dollar possible? I do not think the reactions are odd. Not even remotely.


I get what you're saying, but without the fees the bank probably loses money servicing a certain percentage of the accounts which don't qualify. The erosion of the dollar and the ridiculously low interest rates we currently have are most likely factors for setting the amount and for some of its need.
南無阿弥陀仏!

I was relatively happy with Wells Fargo when I used them... LadyLorraine - 30/09/2011 08:18:34 PM 503 Views
Agreed, but read the fine print when you switch. Joel - 30/09/2011 08:21:31 PM 674 Views
I agree Praziquantel - 30/09/2011 11:25:00 PM 633 Views
I love my credit union, so drama free. I would never switch to a bank. *NM* everynametaken - 01/10/2011 03:04:39 AM 263 Views
Yeah, do more of what made folks mad enough to pass a federal law and kill your stock price. Joel - 30/09/2011 08:35:19 PM 552 Views
Hopefully this means no-one will dare do that here, having seen the reaction. Tim - 30/09/2011 11:11:29 PM 562 Views
You'd think that. Morgawse - 01/10/2011 01:13:33 AM 728 Views
Really like, and have already stolen, that last line. Joel - 01/10/2011 02:40:44 AM 698 Views
It seems so silly. Like a knee-jerk reaction. nossy - 30/09/2011 11:14:40 PM 620 Views
Can't believe they're still in business. They are a shame to the human race. *NM* Praziquantel - 30/09/2011 11:26:32 PM 241 Views
You mean BoA, not banks in general, right? Joel - 01/10/2011 02:41:36 AM 673 Views
Yes, I specifically mean BofA. Praziquantel - 01/10/2011 02:52:20 AM 501 Views
I know, I was just teasing. Joel - 01/10/2011 03:21:59 AM 640 Views
Maintaining a modest sum of money in checking/savings/CDs obviates this charge and most others Vodalus - 01/10/2011 02:02:51 AM 619 Views
Hm? nossy - 01/10/2011 02:12:41 AM 557 Views
Right. It's not an issue if the combined total meets BoAs requirement. Vodalus - 01/10/2011 02:33:15 AM 708 Views
The bank may have the right to protect itself from losing money nossy - 01/10/2011 03:15:52 AM 628 Views
Yes, but griping about pains arising from symptoms does nothing to cure the disease. Vodalus - 01/10/2011 03:25:29 AM 612 Views
I'm still right. *NM* nossy - 01/10/2011 04:23:06 AM 231 Views
I never said you were wrong. Vodalus - 01/10/2011 04:41:23 AM 599 Views
I just like hearing people say it. nossy - 01/10/2011 03:31:45 PM 706 Views
As long as account holders indefinitely surrender enough of their money for the bank to invest? Joel - 01/10/2011 02:35:49 AM 538 Views
No. I mean BoA doesn't want to have clients who cost money rather than make money for the bank. Vodalus - 01/10/2011 02:57:20 AM 608 Views
Well, charging people $5/month to use their own money will not accomplish that goal. Joel - 01/10/2011 03:24:07 AM 556 Views
Sure it will. They'll pay the fees or they'll leave. Either way BoA wins on that front. Vodalus - 01/10/2011 03:31:23 AM 672 Views
I suppose, if turning the departure of account holders into a stampede counts as "winning." Joel - 01/10/2011 04:18:11 AM 630 Views
If it's limited to the targeted account holders, the unprofitable ones, then it is winning. Vodalus - 01/10/2011 04:53:20 AM 619 Views
But the targeting is determined by how much money account holders semi-permanently loan banks. Joel - 01/10/2011 05:49:57 AM 678 Views
$20K is not a modest sum of money to keep in the bank *NM* random thoughts - 01/10/2011 02:58:55 PM 224 Views
modest=$100,000 *NM* Aeryn - 01/10/2011 04:36:56 PM 221 Views
Wells Fargo is considering a similar fee *NM* Roland00 - 01/10/2011 02:29:39 AM 364 Views
Love my credit union, I would never use a bank if I absolutely didn't have too. Go CUs! *NM* everynametaken - 01/10/2011 03:06:21 AM 227 Views
