I have NO sympathy for BofA. I have a charge account thru them, and it took me a few months to realize that by clicking for payment to be made on the "due date" at its site, I was subjecting myself to a $39 late fee ... because, you see, if my "due date" fell on a day the bank was closed, like a Saturday, my payment was late. Seems to me that if their payments had to be made to coincide with bank hours, they could at least set the "due date" on a bank business day. But no, that way they wouldn't collect all those $39 fees.

Some of the other banks make a reasonable effort to tell you to reschedule your payment a couple days earlier. I just got one of those notifications.

No business could possibly operate without assuming that the majority if its customers had a minimum of common sense.

I have NO sympathy for BofA.Neither do I. Neither did my parents. Growing up, I can still remember my mother going on about the travesties of Bank of America. My fathers California business banked only with Security First National Bank and the later Security Pacific. They were the family's banking choices. Too bad BoA bought out Security Pacific in the late '80's. Now BoA and Well's Fargo fight over the lowest place in the banking gutter.

American Express did the same type of thing with my business account.
