More poor tax. I have a "free checking account" at SunTrust. They offered it and I signed up a few years ago when I had a car loan there. I haven't had much money in that time, so the account gets relatively little activity. It's the second one.So they will convert my free checking to "Everyday Checking" which means a $7 monthly fee (in lieu of maintaining a $500 balance) plus another $5 in any month where I use my debit card. So it could cost me $244 in fees to use this account. x(I think there is more to come.--imm
From the guys who always brag about their advanced degrees, astronomical IQs and how stupid other people are.12 X 12 = ?
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
Remember to thank Fwank-Dodd for that DUches.How many republican votes did in yet another "We have to pass it to know what is in it, it's a CRISIS!!!!!!" bill?

Of the Durbin amendment."Free" checking will cease to exist, as well as rewards programs and gas rebates.The banks were using the debit card charges to provide free services and the Durbin amendment gutted that.So now we, the consumer, have to pay more for our banking services to save them, the retailers, a few pennies per transaction.Thanks Dick.
Indydem wants pizza. No one replied to his post, but I bet many alert buttons were hit.

That is BoA's last "free" account It allows for unlimited check writing and unlimited ATM use but if you need to talk with a teller, there is a charge whether it is deposit or withdrawal (they want both done via ATM). This includes someone depositing funds in your account. The charge for that last I saw was around $8. For someone who owes you money to stop by the branch and attempt to deposit on your behalf.Its nuts.On the unemployment - can't he contact the state to have the money automatically credited to a debit card? That way he can move the money from the card to an account via the ATM without any fees. May be something to look into in the interim as most (if not all) states offer that option.
I have an account with BofA and never been charged with a teller fee. The interest on the account (as well as our money market/savings account) does suck ass though.
12 X 12 = 2 dozen eggs
12 X 12 = ?POTATO!What do I win?
Nothing. 1 + 1 = POTATO. 12 X 12 = RUTEBEGA.

Well, you are on DU. BTW, is that the new plural of math?
