I am to headed to the bank shortly. Recently opened a new account with them, and when depositing a check was told there would be a 5 business day hold on the check. It was a larger check (but still under the $5k "large deposit" threshold) so I asked the rep that before accepting my deposit they assure me that after five business days I would have access to the funds.
After a week plus has passed I've inquired via phone, and now they tell me that because it is a new account, they can hold it for 30 days. Now I'm going to have to try and make a case with the branch manager.
Fuck me. No, fuck them. Well, fuck me for not getting that assurance in writing. But yes -- fuck banks!
That's why I bitcoin.
Thats really an impressive story
my friend transferred money into my bank account, I moved it into a CEX to buy BTC for him... a few days later the bank called asking about my friend's transaction
Bank: can you tell us about this transaction
me: what about it ?
Bank: we need details?
me: why?
bank: we need to know
me: why? its all legal
Bank: was it debt from someone or a friend
me: yes both and please dont call me again for such matters .... Im ok with closing my bank account
Bank: oh no ... sorry to bother you!
