BOFA to charge $5 a month for check card use

[CJ]

U mad, bro?

yes, people are easily misguided.

They didn't win shit, they are just going to impose stricter requirements.

Businesses don't pay taxes, period. You pay them. They just need to make it more difficult for simpletons to think they won.

And so it begins...

Well, due to customer backlash, BofA has decided to reverse this $5 fee.

Well this is just crazy that they would do that. We all know that we need the government to pass legislation to force them to do anything and everything.

I expect legislation proposing a $5 fee for ALL account holders at credit unions and banks. It is only fair.

I considered the e-banking but I find my self using the drive thru or going inside due to their atms not accepting checks or cash deposits frequently! That alone pisses me off it happens so many times.
Chase doesn't seem to offer much more.

The best option I have been seeing is having my parents open a new account linked to theirs. Hmmm. Now if only the would do that lol!

It is a requirement to have someone whom is currently or was active military to open a USAA account? My dad was in the Air Force 30 years ago? Wish they had a banking center closer.. Same with TTCU.

I need free checking/savings/debit/college student/always broke/poor ass account. BofA dropped my campus edge checking, $12+$5 a month is rape when every penny counts!

BofA still offers the free e-banking account, where you use the ATM for deposits and paperless statements. It will get a $5 charge come next year for the checkcard, but that's it. It's the accounts I have, and I called my bank to verify it was staying free.

[danielhv]

I assume you can't use USAA if you or anyone in your family isn't military correct?

I find it amazing congress is passing the fees on to the consumer instead of the businesses.... atleast its a write off for the businesses. They want consumers to spend money to stimulate the economy, yet they continue to find ways to charge us to spend OUR money. What a bunch of assholes.

[Bassics]

ahh! Okay. My mistake. I thought you left on purpose to bank with BoA.

[Silverback]

Just because he said he had issues with nations and they all went away when he moved to BoA. He really didn't change much of anything.

I never said Nations treated me badly. I just meant since the name change to BofA on my account and statement, BofA (as that name) has treated me good.

My mom was the HR Manager for NBC bank in Corpus when I was growing up, and we still opened my first account with Nations Bank back then.

[Silverback]

Bank of America was a subsidiary to Bankamerica Corp, when Nations bought out BAC they changed everything over to the little bank's name for marketing purposes. They used BAC's charter to do all this.

Anyone who had a Nations account would have eventually seen it become a BoA account.

That's pretty much what I meant when I said I came from Nations Bank. Just meant I've had my same account since the early 90s, possibly late 80s. Even though I was only like 8 when I opened it....
