We've never really had a good experience with them, but they are very convenient. Most recently when my identity was stolen, they made me get my own money back from each place the bank card was used rather than helping me to do it. There were a lot of charges. It was such a pain that after my protests of those business practices, we decided to take our business elsewhere. When we told BOA why we were closing our accounts, they didn't even seem concerned. I'd say your "CFO" was wise, but that's my biased opinion.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16845017019900559620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12753102.post-34225713137201327272008-01-28T21:07:00.000-05:002008-01-28T21:07:00.000-05:00I'd be curious to know what your (wife's) reasons ...I'd be curious to know what your (wife's) reasons where and what your new choice in banking is. I've been a BOA customer for about 11 years now, and really don't have anything good or bad to say about them. I have however played the interest chasing game for my money market savings among GiantBank, HSBC, ING Direct, and most recently GMAC Bank. Really the only reason I've held onto the BOA account is convenience. Pretty much anywhere that I go in the US, I can count on there being an ATM machine there. I guess many of the mega banks will reimburse you for a certain amount of ATM fees nowadays, but I guess I 'm just not comfortable with all the fine print.Mark Helmstetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10871755939223889985noreply@blogger.com
