I've had a few snafus with my personal account (like them freezing my cards if I didn't tell them I was traveling), but usually those were cleared up pretty quickly. There's good and bad parts to banking with big corporations; I like the easy online banking, being able to look at e-statements for a year back, and tons of ATMs (at least in Dallas). But if great customer service is more your gig, maybe it's not for you.

After I inquired last month, I received a note from the IRS saying it was being applied to my 2008 estimated tax. I think our gov is out of dough for us little folk.

Even with large deposits my funds are there immediately. I moved to them a few years back after Chase took over Bank One (not a smooth transition, I was very unhappy!!) The only thing I despise is that they take 3 dollars a month out of my savings account as a fee. Maybe I'll email them about that right now..... I’ve had no problems with B of A.

Surprised: * Your comment is almost perfect in syntax and punctuation. * You are "completely satisfied and totally surprised by these negative experiences." * You're totally at a loss... I surmise that (1) You're in the PR department at BoA. (2) You've never actually done business with another bank to see how bad BoA is. (For the record, I love my Credit Union, and I've had negative experiences with them from time-to-time. They're human. Mistakes happen, and the customer isn't always treated properly). (3) You're rich beyond belief. In which case I'll admit to being jealous. (4) You still believe Sadaam had WMDs, al-qaeda was in Iraq and a fat man in a red suit will come down your chimney Wednesday night. Any which case, it must be nice to live in la-la land. Hmmm.

Even when I've had fraudulent activity from retailers BoA immediately credits the amount while they investigate or have been the ones to notify me when something looks sketchy. I have no fees when I go in the bank or call...do any banks really get away with that? Customer service is quick, courteous and thorough. They do charge a fee if I use another bank's ATM but I rarely need too seeing there's a BoA on every corner these days including DFW airport. Physically deposited checks take about 48 hours to verify and post. I'm totally at a loss, especially since I'm the one usually frustrated with incompetent customer service...maybe it's the type of account that makes the difference.
