Guess I should stop using my debit card for purchases, so I don't get the fee. But I wonder how long till they have a fee when you use the ATM?

@1. The only solution is a rush on the bank.

They're also significantly jacking up the minimum balance on checking accounts. I think its $5000 now. Every month I tell myself I have to close my B of A accounts. Alas, I'm too lazy...

Scooped by Charles. Ouch.

They "continue to suck" no less than three hours ago when Charles posted this? Good to know. I look forward to the breaking news updates on this again at 9 and midnight. You guys are really owning this story.

I'm gonna start charging $5 every time someone posts something on Slog that was already posted earlier in the day I mean I'm gonna make like $20 a month or something like that jesus god damn christ

I don't understand why anyone is still using a major bank. Credit unions are where it's at, folks.

@5 - "Our top story tonight: Generallissimo Francisco Franco is still dead."

as long as there are no forthcoming enormous whooziwhatsit fees, it's all good.

Hey, don't listen to those jerks, Christopher. Those of us using the AuthorFilter Greasemonkey script to filter out Charles's posts appreciate the heads-up.

baby... you don't suck.. you just made a mistake.. we still reading you..

A direct result of the consumer protection law passed last year, limiting debit cards "per transaction" fees.

What did you expect? Something for nothing?

@8, or Christopher's doing Garrett Morris:

Garrett Morris: GOOD NIGHT, AND HAVE A PLEASANT TO-MOR-ROW!

Switch to a credit union already, people. Or to a smaller local bank with the ATM that's most convenient to you. And maybe start using cash instead of debit. Stop helping an evil huge bank pay off its bad debt.

I don't want to blame the victim here, but it infuriates me when some megacorp gets as close as it can to a monopoly, then tells consumers they're over a barrel and have mo choice but to cough up hilarious fees and put up with abysmal service. There is always a choice. Find it.

with a good credit union, you'll be able to use bank atms almost anywhere for no fee.

google the credit unions in your area: even if they were started for a particular group, they tend to let anyone in the area belong.

@9, only a charge for withdrawals, never for deposits.

People need to STOP USING BofA ! AND Chase... AND Wells Fargo... AND every other major bank in the US.

Articles and content in this section of the website are really amazing. From puneonnet dot com.

That's okay, Christopher. B of A sucks enough to warrant a double post.

Why is the Sage of Omaha not mentioned....

FEED THE RICH!! YUM YUM!!

@12 Good service for a reasonable rate, courtesy of a company that isn't a greedy monstrosity. Gotta pay for those golden parachutes!

Doesn't California pay unemployment benefits using B of A Debit cards?

US Bank is the only major bank (they are the 6th largest, I believe) that is currently not charging for debit cards

Every time you use a debit card, the business pays a fee, and a billionaire gets richer.

@ 13 - LULZ

I don't even care that we just dated ourselves! Ha! ;)
