BOFA to charge $5 a month for check card use

I think I'd be way more interested to find out where you're gaining your knowledge of mark to market accounting. Sounds like Eustace Mullens got to you again.

Damn him!

I actually got it from some grad courses I took in my spare time at Chicago.

I mean, shit, if people can say they were a CPA, I can claim some courses, right? I won't even boast the full degree, just some courses.

Thanks for the recommendatiaons to USAA, started up a new checking account and beginning the migration process.

I liked BOFA, been with them for years and never really had an issue until now. But like Netflix, I'm voting with my feet and don't support their attempt to squeeze more money out of me than they already do.

Exactly. Sometimes Denny acts like it is 1870 and you can just put whatever you want in your filings and nothing will happen to you.

No, just certain people.

-1.81% as of right now. Gee, I wonder why.

And the close?

[ceyko]

I just hope they lose a ton of customers over it and another vote for USAA.

And the close?

Down 3.62% at the close

Solid barg

just stating that the people who want everything for FREE arent gonna get it. dont be mad cause Gold crapped out on you. it happens

Paying monthly bank fees without a sweat, with the top down, hollarin' out money ain't a thang.

I prefer to stay in sleeper mode. Old school truck hasnt been washed in years etc. Banks dont offer services for nothing. If your looking for free contact the White House for your debit card.

I have had Wells Fargo since 94. They annoy me about once every two years, but I guess they are pretty decent. Can't be worse than any of the other banks out there.

Not sure if it has been mentioned or not, but WF was the first to pilot this program in the PAC NW.

My opinion is that if they were going to charge a fee, they should do it on checks. Checks are antiquated instruments and a holdover from the previous generation. Bofa WANTS people to move to credit cards because they make more money that way, so they are souring the milk as far as the debit/check cards.

I use my check card in lieu of checks as i hate carrying cash and am not going to move to a credit card and complicate my finances with additional steps/paperwork. I'm glad it works for some people, but not for me. I'll move to a institution that fits the way i want to operate and leverage my power of choice as a consumer.

My thoughts as well.

Crapped out on me? Shit, this is just setting up another opportunity to convert shit paper to real money. I know it's a hard concept to understand. LOL

To be competitive, they better offer something for nothing. They already get their loans from the Fed for nothing, while taking that free loan and giving out interest-producing loans. (That's how banks work) Their "service fees" can't touch that. Might as well have competitive wars between them to get customers putting their money in their trust. Greed is a motherfucker.
