What a joke! Our local BoA won't even cash paychecks drawn on their own bank, one reason I quit using them for my business account. This still seems wrong to me.

Oooops.

I started another thread on this after looking.

I am also a BofA member but this is the final straw for me. It angers me everytime I have to select english to withdraw my money from the ATM.

If true and nothing is done about it, then I will leave them.

I thought the Patriot Act had a lot of requirements, and that credit cards were included in that.

Alternatively this means that BoA has waived the requirement for a US bank account; which means that 8 months from now they will find themselves inadvertantly funding the Albanian mafia as they get scammed and scammed again.

What's the big deal? This sounds like the old "secured credit card" deal - you get a credit card as long as you have a checking account, you have a minimum balance to maintain, and if you miss a payment they charge you $$$ and take your account. This sounds more like BoA screwing poor people - ALL poor people. Maybe they're extending more credit than the collateral account is worth, but I bet they're making it up in fees and interest. Snore. Drudge will throw anything/everything at the wall and see what sticks.

And what's so bad about BoA keeping $$$ in America instead of letting it get shipped back to Mexico? Sign 'em up!!!

I'll be watching there Stock Value. I expect it to take a hit.
I'll be checking my Mutual fund holdings, too. I don't want to be an unintentional owner.

Hmmm...BOA Credit Card to those who have no SSI#? Most not have a Visa, either!

Americans can't even open a saving account without there social security number. It is part of the patriot act which is designed to protect us from terrorism...Ya Right...LOL

Yet Illegals can get credit cards. We are being taken for the gullible citizens that we have become.

B of A is screwing Americans another way. I’ve had a B of A card since they sent me my first unsolicited card when I was 16 years old. I don’t think they do that anymore since I wasn’t even legally responsible for any debt and, in fact, never used it anyway. About two years ago, I started using the card more often since it was easier to use than to write checks, and I would pay the balance off each month before the due date using an electronic transfer from another local bank. Last month I scheduled the transfer to arrive two days before the current balance was due and the transfer did indeed occur on that day. But that’s not good enough for B of A. They charged me a late fee, and then interest on that, and defended their action saying they don’t post payments until 72 or more hours after receiving the funds. What a bunch of thieving bastards, and what a racket. I can’t even imagine how much dishonest income they obtain doing this on a large scale.
Anyway, I destroyed my B of A credit card, paid off the account, and sent a letter asking that the card be cancelled. Even though I phoned to get the current balance, I next expect a letter saying they can’t cancel the account because of the interested accrued on the non-late payment for the two days required for the electronic fund transfer, and subsequent 72 or more hours required to post the payment. B of A make the loan shark downtown look like a saint.

I pay my car payment over the phone sometimes. Check it out, they have a specific option to send money to Mexico in one of the first menus.

Maybe? BOA has been rather horrible on so many topics - and some pretty shady business practices as well - for quite some time.

But that being said - couldn't a case be made that this is "aiding and abetting a known criminal"?

Nothing surprises me anymore as far as illegals are concerned.

This reminds me of the thieving Swiss banks during the Hitler era. Stealing big time from the Hebrews and giving carte blanc service to the murdering Germans. Even now the criminal Germans can access their accounts, but if a Hebrew tries they need a lot of paperwork and legal assistance. Even then they are denied big time.
