Google the Bank's corporate headquarters and speak to the CEO. Then e-mail him with your complaint and cc the press and broadcast media. Wanna bet, how quickly they'd rectify things?

Love it Lola. I will follow thru!

DH also gave a GREAT suggestion...

Next time I drive up to the window, as the tellers if there is a FEE for depositing cash. If they say no, get their name/date etc etc and tell the boss that even THEIR own workers do not know!!

Love it..and I WILL do that!!

That's really insane. The banks would not exist without our cash.

If we adopted their policy -- "Sorry I have to charge you more to take your cash" -- we'd be out of business ASAP. As should they, if they keep it up.

Agreed, Meredith. Without US, where would they be? And heck, if I had a customer with a LARGE purchase, I would not charge them. That is what we are doing; purchasing a service from the bank to "house" our money.

Update: I did go to the drive up window and asked the teller. She said "It depends on the amount". Well, I said, what is the amount? Anything over $1000. Not sure that means per day or per month or what.

PLEASE, ask your banks about this specifically. Especially if you are in Business. The bank is BBVA Compass, FYI.

The bank seems to give me a harder time when I deposit money,
than when I withdraw money. It bugs the heck out of me. You'd think I was Ma Barker or somethin'! Geese! I keep a reasonable amount on deposit at that particular bank. And I've banked there for decades. A friend was recently charged $50.00 at a bank
around here, for being overdrawn $5.00! Talk about a ripoff!
They'll let somebody like Madoff get away with scamming billions for an eternity, while law abiding people get the shaft. Ponzi schemers are ruining the financial system. Go figure!

wow, this is crazy. I joined a credit union 30 years ago. No fees
and friendly service. I'll never go back to a bank.

Cash takes more processing than checks? What are they thinking? I just don't get it.

We spent a night away this weekend. The hotel charges everyone a $15.00 recreation fee whether you use their workout room, pool, or not. They also charged $19.00 to park, and we parked the car ourselves. Didn't do valet.

Businesses are being forced to add little fees here and there just to stay in business. It's out of control.

Well, they are NOT thinking. I wrote to my bank for a "justification" of that fee..NO REPLY! This bank is out of Argentina and an MBA is the head honcho. We do have another credit union account, but they can be a bit "closed minded" when it comes to businesses. They do not offer merchant services....at least ours does not!

The cost of parking is nuts. It costs $25.00 just to park your car to watch a football game at our stadium. By the time you buy tickets and food, it costs several hundred dollars to enjoy one game. I do not know how couples with families can afford some events. Geese!

we beat that parking problem by driving close by and riding our bikes to actual events. We can park where it's free and chain our bikes up close.
