i really really hate most banks.
all these bullshit fees.
Frickin' chistlelers..
bank of america is the same thing if you don't have an account with them. two id's, thumb print and a 5 dollars check cashing fee.
charges to open an account, charges to close an account, charges to deposit money, charges to withdraw money, check 'clearance' times, atm bullshit fees...
assholes.
fuckin assholes.
its your own fuckin money and these cunts make interest off of it, then treat you like a fuckin criminal when you want to access your own fuckin money.
CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNTS.
yup. Recession's a comin'. All the financial institutions are trying to batten down the hatches.
I just discovered that the hard way last weekend. Ugh...
COSTS TO PAY!!!!
CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNTS!!!
I keep some of my DJ shit under the radar. So I cash the checks from time to time. I work in the financial district (for RVA LOL) so all the majors are within a block.
I feel sorry for people who have to go to regular banks. And it seems like the more they consolidate, the worse they get.
I also get better customer service at the DMV.
Wachovia = Walk Over Ya
Hibernia = I Burn Ya
Bank of America = Skynet
Then theres the Dutch Rabobank (rob a bank)
Pretty sure that the reserve system of banking already takes care of that for them.
But you can go to CVS or the Post Office, spend $5 and get $100 cash back with no fee. That's my ATM.
That's actually a pretty good idea that never really occurred to me. Sleep deprivation is a bitch....
Same w/ etrade. ATM fees on any machine are reimbursed.
eggs acktly.
Harvey, you done did it now...
We are apparently equally agitated with the scam known as banks.
Well, they're still trying to stack extra chips. All I read about is Citigroup and other institutions laying off hella people. That's not directly bank related, but it's the same company, right?
Regardless, a recession could be coming, so I'll stack extra chips by not paying wack bank fees.
I ride with USAA for my credit card and my car insurance and have nothing but good things to say about both.
Bank of America sucks, they have the highest fees for everything. There service is
FUCK CHASE BANK. They really dicked me over on a mortgage loan a few months ago (by absolutely no fault of my own, I might add).
I don't mess with big banks for my monthly banking and direct deposits. I stick with local credit unions these days. No fees, I get everything I need, and they don't play with my money.
Bank of the West stole over $200 from me (not including their bullshit fees) a few years ago. Fuck banks.
I've had nothing but positive experiences with Wells Fargo though. They have fast and helpful customer service and negated all fees charged when my paypal account was hacked, even though it was clearly not their fault at all. And their online banking system is really easy to use too.
Get familiar!
I've been with BofA and Wells Fargo. Both screwed me over. WaMu has been the only bank to treat me right. Funds available immediately when I deposit a check through a teller, refunds on overdraft fees, no account fees. The downside is everyone uses them so lines are long if you have to see a teller. I just use their drop box inside. No lines, no ATMs.
I have been doing this for years. At least I get a pack of gum or a soda with my money instead of just giving cash to the bank.
WAMU has always done right by me.
