I understand that this is a BAC thread - I was just pointing out that the lawsuits are not solely on them. In context to the health of the financial sector overall, that matters.

We have a friend who is a "teller manager" with Wachovia/Wells...they are under tremendous pressure to sell their programs and new/additional accounts to the customers. These banks are out of control.

JP Morgan Chase: Three(3)! "account crap heads" standing in front of the customer service desk (manned by one person) asking if you need "assistance" AKA what can I sell you in the back of the bank. Also listening to the customers coming in to the service desk and picking them off to "help" them.

BOA: One floater guy up front to meet and greet. Same as the person that is a teller the other 4 days of the week
that has difficulty understanding wire transfers, deposits to branches out of state, etc.

BOA: I transfer a large sum of money from HSBC to BOA to fund my operating account to pay supplier's bills. I am walking home and I get a call from a BOA financial plannner that wants to "help me with my business plan". How in God's name did he get tipped off that I just made a large deposit? It wasn't a coincidence! Privacy? Forgetaboutit!

Wachovia is the same way! It gets so old, being "sold" something every time you go in. I told the branch manager that I did not want to be approached again with another service. I told them it was a shame that the tellers can no longer focus on their job (and build relationships) with the customer because they have to up sell.

Not sure if you are asking me or the other poster, as I said it is hard to just change accounts but when people change I understand MANY are going to a credit union. Truliant is a good one.

I remember when my mom and dad got hams and/or turkeys from the bank. LOL!

Give your change to some deserving kid and you will get 100% on your money.

Not if you feed it through a coinstar at a big bank first. Then you only get 92.5% no matter who you plan on giving it to.
