Sure it will. They'll pay the fees or they'll leave. Either way BoA wins on that front. Vodalus Send a noteboard - 01/10/2011 03:31:23 AM
That is what that amounts to, right? I agree with Tim: As long as account holders are in the black, the bank owes them, not the reverse.

People can vote with their feet, find another bank, stuff their mattresses or whatever. I'm not defending BoA so much as pointing out the obvious.

Fair enough, but it seems like both account holders and investors are voting with their wallets; in terms of making money, this seems another huge gaffe.


All banks are down right now. The scary thing is whether the media makes it such a PR disaster that the non-targeted customers start withdrawing money to go elsewhere.
南無阿弥陀仏!

screw all the big banks random thoughts - 30/09/2011 07:19:36 PM 519 Views
I was relatively happy with Wells Fargo when I used them... LadyLorraine - 30/09/2011 08:18:34 PM 457 Views
Agreed, but read the fine print when you switch. Joel - 30/09/2011 08:21:31 PM 620 Views
I agree Praziquantel - 30/09/2011 11:25:00 PM 589 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 248 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 503 Views
Hopefully this means no-one will dare do that here, having seen the reaction. Tim - 30/09/2011 11:11:29 PM 517 Views
You'd think that. Morgawse - 01/10/2011 01:13:33 AM 683 Views
Really like, and have already stolen, that last line. Joel - 01/10/2011 02:40:44 AM 652 Views
It seems so silly. Like a knee-jerk reaction. nossy - 30/09/2011 11:14:40 PM 575 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 226 Views
You mean BoA, not banks in general, right? Joel - 01/10/2011 02:41:36 AM 628 Views
Yes, I specifically mean BofA. Praziquantel - 01/10/2011 02:52:20 AM 458 Views
I know, I was just teasing. Joel - 01/10/2011 03:21:59 AM 598 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 565 Views
Hm? nossy - 01/10/2011 02:12:41 AM 509 Views
Right. It's not an issue if the combined total meets BoAs requirement. Vodalus - 01/10/2011 02:33:15 AM 668 Views
The bank may have the right to protect itself from losing money nossy - 01/10/2011 03:15:52 AM 585 Views
Yes, but griping about pains arising from symptoms does nothing to cure the disease. Vodalus - 01/10/2011 03:25:29 AM 564 Views
I'm still right. *NM* nossy - 01/10/2011 04:23:06 AM 215 Views
I never said you were wrong. Vodalus - 01/10/2011 04:41:23 AM 554 Views
I just like hearing people say it. nossy - 01/10/2011 03:31:45 PM 660 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 495 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 563 Views
Well, charging people $5/month to use their own money will not accomplish that goal. Joel - 01/10/2011 03:24:07 AM 514 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 620 Views
I suppose, if turning the departure of account holders into a stampede counts as "winning." Joel - 01/10/2011 04:18:11 AM 589 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 575 Views
But the targeting is determined by how much money account holders semi-permanently loan banks. Joel - 01/10/2011 05:49:57 AM 639 Views
$20K is not a modest sum of money to keep in the bank *NM* random thoughts - 01/10/2011 02:58:55 PM 208 Views
modest=$100,000 *NM* Aeryn - 01/10/2011 04:36:56 PM 207 Views
Wells Fargo is considering a similar fee *NM* Roland00 - 01/10/2011 02:29:39 AM 350 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 214 Views
