Read the story, she was trying to open a savings account and deposit the check. No reason not to let her deposit the check and put a hold on it.
“Read the story, she was trying to open a savings account and deposit the check.”
This is her claim or her lawyer’s claim. I am sure the bank will claim otherwise. I see this as a he said, she said situation. And the bank has the multiple witnesses.
Banks are always happy to take your money to open a new account. BUT you must wait for your check to clear before you can withdraw any money. My opinion, she wanted the cash right away.
