Hi all,
Get ready for a rant. Bank of America is the root of (most) evil. Do you remember the poor tax in monopoly? Well, BOA did the following:
a) Got bailed out by our government. You know, the same government that can't seem to properly fund education.
b) Charged me $500 in fees while I waited for a home improvement loan. I would literally have been better off taking a cash advance on a credit card.
c) Has, thus far, refused to make any restitution, despite the fact that there are connected accounts with thousands of dollars in them and I have overdraft protection.
I'm changing banks, for several reasons.
1) Nutmeg State Financial Credit Union has a 5% checking account.
2) They don't have ridiculous fees
3) They didn't need a bailout because they lived responsibly while BOA was making bad loans.
4) They seem to actually care about their members. Shocking, I know.
