- go back to counter withdrawals
- move to a different bank
I took a check issues by a BOA account holder to a local BOA branch to cash. They wanted a $5 fee to cash their own customer’s check!
Instead, I deposited it to my own account and VOWED to NEVER deal with BOA.
Bye - bye, BOA!
Credit Unions forever!
Apparently, the fee is only for point of purchase swipes of the card, not ATM. So BoA customers can just go take out $xx, then head to the stores.
Merchants used to have to pay some minor fee for cards used in their stores. The Congress in its finite wisdom wrote that out in its latest laws, so the bank(s) will compensate one way or another for that income.
“- go back to counter withdrawals”
There is no going back to this; the AMericans that had worked in branches have been laid off, and replaced by foreigners with little command of English. Many of these are not just Hispanic, but also from Eastern Europe and Asia. In a local branch we have a branch manager that barely speaks English (in a town where 90% of the people still do).
