1 /5 Bryan Walters: Truly, I would consider putting your money under your mattress before banking with Bank of America. Unfortunately, I’ve given over 15 years of my life to banking with this institution and finally I am parting ways. Not only do I bank with them personally, but I also bank with them with them within my company. Their new thing is holding your check as long as they possibly can before letting it clear, for what? Fraud prevention? In the past you used to be able to call them and they would release the hold if you have deposited checks from the same company before. They no longer do this, which is ridiculous. Our company deposits checks from the same businesses every single month and now every check that I deposit is nearly placed on a hold for seven days. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue but it’s 100% driving me to switch banks. The sad thing is they will be around forever, and will never be held accountable for their stupidity and poor decision-making. But any bit of customer service that they once had is now gone. Good riddance BOA
