Once, long ago, I tried to open a bank account at Equibank. I
chose this bank because a) I didn't have a car and b) they had a
branch about three blocks from campus. I ended up closing it after
about a month - they repeatedly provided me with ATM cards that
didn't work with the PIN I had selected (and of course they
couldn't tell me what PIN would work.)

When I moved from PA to CT I had to find a bank so I chose one at
random. I wanted to open an account and deposit a $3000 company
check for openers. Everything went well until I asked to get $25
back from the deposit. "Sorry sir, we can't do that, come back for
cash in 3 days" Walked up the street to another bank that said
"sure sir, how much cash back do you want?"


We moved from PA to NV. Buying and closed on two homes. Finally, the
NV bank sent a letter saying the Cashier's Check had a ten day hold
on it. We went to the bank, next morning.

Something my wife whispered across the desk too personnel. {if you
don't clear that check right NOW, I'll close this account and make
the biggest (@^%#!) scene you have every seen in this bank}

Walked out with cash G

Heh!

One of my customers told me his wife's bank wouldn't cash his check.
So he goes to the bank and demands that they cash it. They still say
no.

He reaches in his coat pocket and pulls out a CD for $100,000 and says
"Cash this!" After much toing-and-froing they finally allow as how
they'll give him a cashier's check. "No good," says he. "You won't
take my check, I won't take yours. I want C-A-S-H!"

"I don't think we have that much cash in the bank," says the manager.
"So get on the 'phone and get an armored car on the way. If I don't
have my money in an hour, I'm on the telephone to the Comptroller of
the Currency and I'll do my damnedest to have your national bank
charter revoked. You'll soon be known as Ex-Bank of America."

He got his money.




Hmmm... Your friend's story is hard to swallow. I know, you are just
relaying it.

a CD for $100,000

Most people have one of these.

If I don't
have my money in an hour,

I recall seeing something in that 4pt print of opening an account
agreement that bank has right to delay X days on withdrawls of $X or
more.
