I love my credit union, so drama free. I would never switch to a bank. *NM* everynametaken Send a noteboard - 01/10/2011 03:04:39 AM
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.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

screw all the big banks random thoughts - 30/09/2011 07:19:36 PM 492 Views
I was relatively happy with Wells Fargo when I used them... LadyLorraine - 30/09/2011 08:18:34 PM 432 Views
Agreed, but read the fine print when you switch. Joel - 30/09/2011 08:21:31 PM 587 Views
I agree Praziquantel - 30/09/2011 11:25:00 PM 563 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 476 Views
Hopefully this means no-one will dare do that here, having seen the reaction. Tim - 30/09/2011 11:11:29 PM 490 Views
You'd think that. Morgawse - 01/10/2011 01:13:33 AM 657 Views
Really like, and have already stolen, that last line. Joel - 01/10/2011 02:40:44 AM 630 Views
It seems so silly. Like a knee-jerk reaction. nossy - 30/09/2011 11:14:40 PM 550 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 212 Views
You mean BoA, not banks in general, right? Joel - 01/10/2011 02:41:36 AM 605 Views
Yes, I specifically mean BofA. Praziquantel - 01/10/2011 02:52:20 AM 434 Views
I know, I was just teasing. Joel - 01/10/2011 03:21:59 AM 571 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 539 Views
Hm? nossy - 01/10/2011 02:12:41 AM 482 Views
Right. It's not an issue if the combined total meets BoAs requirement. Vodalus - 01/10/2011 02:33:15 AM 646 Views
The bank may have the right to protect itself from losing money nossy - 01/10/2011 03:15:52 AM 559 Views
Yes, but griping about pains arising from symptoms does nothing to cure the disease. Vodalus - 01/10/2011 03:25:29 AM 546 Views
I'm still right. *NM* nossy - 01/10/2011 04:23:06 AM 202 Views
I never said you were wrong. Vodalus - 01/10/2011 04:41:23 AM 529 Views
I just like hearing people say it. nossy - 01/10/2011 03:31:45 PM 636 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 469 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 540 Views
Well, charging people $5/month to use their own money will not accomplish that goal. Joel - 01/10/2011 03:24:07 AM 491 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 597 Views
I suppose, if turning the departure of account holders into a stampede counts as "winning." Joel - 01/10/2011 04:18:11 AM 566 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 553 Views
But the targeting is determined by how much money account holders semi-permanently loan banks. Joel - 01/10/2011 05:49:57 AM 615 Views
$20K is not a modest sum of money to keep in the bank *NM* random thoughts - 01/10/2011 02:58:55 PM 196 Views
modest=$100,000 *NM* Aeryn - 01/10/2011 04:36:56 PM 199 Views
Wells Fargo is considering a similar fee *NM* Roland00 - 01/10/2011 02:29:39 AM 342 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 206 Views
