They long ago realized that they could make more money by cutting customer service and charging exorbitant fees to their customers. Then they make sure that transactions happen in a way that maximizes penalties against their customers. They'll make sure that your money coming in only clears after the check you wrote against it bounces, zing you with fees that will eat up all the money in causing you to bounce more transactions, creating more fees until your whole paycheck goes straight to them and you are twisting in the wind. I would hope that in these rough economic times that people realize they could do much better with credit unions and stop using banks altogether. Hell, they could probably do better with cash under their mattress than dealing with these predatory banking swindlers. Banks are slime.
