Be Aware that the banks and
financial institutions are ready, willing, and able to do anything they can think
of to separate you from your money! Many, if not all banks, are charging
double fees for the use of their ATM's. They charge you a fee, onsite
(where you use the ATM) and then charge another fee on your bank statement.
There are also banks that will hold your deposits made in ATM's for as many as
five or more days while using your funds interest free! They will also
charge anywhere from $22.00 to $30.00 for any drafts presented against your
account while they are holding your deposit. They do NOT, apparently, make
a distinction between cash and check deposits made in their ATM's!
These are the same institutions which used to tell us that they would save such
great amounts of money by replacing their human cashiers with Automatic Teller
Machines! That they would be able to operate much more cost-effectively and pass
these savings on to the consumer. What they actually did was to pass their
savings on to their executives and eventually start charging fees for the use of
these paid-in-full capital expenditures, which are also...you guessed it!
These fees are also used to further escalate the already grossly excessive
salaries of their chief executives!
Recommendation? Use the human tellers for all your banking transactions
and boycott the "Awful Thievery Machines"!
