[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 83363, member: 669"]No, it's the bank's job to earn a profit for its shareholders. ;) In banking as in the rest of life - [i]TANSTAFL[/i]* Banks have to pay fees to the armored car companies for delivering needed coins and currency, and for taking excess coins and currency away, and they charge the fees you are discussing to cover their expenses. Banks (except the very largest ones) have to pay a money order or traverlers check issuer a fee for the ones they sell. It is not at all uncommon for banks to charge their retail business customers hefty fees for depositing (and withdrawing) both coins and currency. In the case of large users - think Walmart - the store also has to pay armored car fees. *[b]T[/b]here [b]A[/b]in't [b]N[/b]o [b]S[/b]uch [b]T[/b]hing [b]As[/b] a [b]F[/b]ree [b]L[/b]unch[/QUOTE]
