BOFA to charge $5 a month for check card use

[94form2000z]

I love it when people bitch about the banks charging over draft fees. It's their own damn fault.

and that's the biggest reason behind most complaints about them. I hear it about Chase yet I have never been charged a $.01 I wasn't expecting and I have quite a few accounts with them.

i get charged a 9.00 fee every month from my bank also. not a big deal.

If you live near on I would recomend Texas Trust Credit Union. I use their free online banking and bill pay all the time. No fees at all and reimburse atm fees.

I had another account setup with Wells Fargo for ebay/paypal but they told me they would start chargin $7 a month if I did not start using direct deposit so I dropped them.

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

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

I am going to say that I feel like this is not a great move. I don't really understand it and can't see how it isn't just a quick money grab. But like I said before, BofA isn't the only one doing it. I think people have to also remember that banks have lost a huge revenue stream in the OD fees that can't be charged for a certain amount of time. That has probably saved alot of customers coin, and has put a huge hit on profit for banks. I don't remember the exact number, but it was a considerable amount of revenue lost for BofA. This is just a reaction to things such as that, and revenue has to be generated somehow I suppose.

I guess that sounds like I am putting the blame on Congress for making all the changes, which in turn can be placing the blame on the people for not being more responsible with their spending habits. But that would just be too far of a stretch I suppose.

See what happens when a bank can't liquidate enough?

Imagine if they had to account for all their assets @ market value instead of their stated value. Imagine if they foreclosed on all those defaulted loans and had to report those losses. Imagine if they didn't receive free loans from the Fed and charge everyone else a few percentage points. Imagine if they didn't have homers like Buffett throwing five billion at them in a weak attempt to gain other investors' interests.

These banks are done, folks. Go ahead and laugh at me now. This will soon spark a chain reaction to all banks and all of you stuck to these institutions will be just as fucked.

FDIC cannot and will not be able to cover a massive explosion like the one coming.

Direct link to online banking works, but their main webpage is under a DDOS attack

edit never mind - can't get past login screen as it has a "Slower than normal" warning.

I'm kidding, but maybe not for long.

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.
