Message:: [QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 1358360, member: 12789"]I cannot imagine why people bank with BoA.  Frankly I do not like big banks.  My main bank is a three brancher that has been around since 1894 in it's original National charter.  They are mainly an agricultural lender, so very conservative.  All the employees know be by name.  They save goodies for me all the time because I have befriended all of them.  Oh back on the subject - SDB's.  They called me just this last fall and said they had a couple of larger boxes in their vault come available - the vault teller went ahead and signed me up for them, and then called me.  That was so I could consolidate all the stuff in several other boxes.  In the end, I kept the other boxes but paid for the new ones- prorated of course - they insisted.  So now I have all my assorted junque there.  Did I mention they order cent and nickel boxes weekly for me - no charge?  Aside from them, I save my dosh in credit unions.  Credit unions are depositor owned.  So I have a stake in them, which is why I find that they bend over backwards to accomodate my numismatic addictions.  Setting coins aside for me, calling me when they fill bags that they usually would have sent to a larger bank - and they would pay a fee to do so - I buy them and save them(and me as a depositor) money. Small banks, credit unions - they built America and still do.  Those large corporations are only out to ruin it.[/QUOTE]
