<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1262387, member: 5233&quot;]I don&#039;t agree with it...but here is how a bank looks at it.&nbsp; An account holder at a bank has an agreement with the bank.&nbsp; They pay fees and they get various services including accounts which they can write checks off of.&nbsp; When someone who does not have an account comes into the bank (a private business) with a check drawn off that bank...the bank has the right to charge it&#039;s non-member for the service of cashing the check.&nbsp; The non-member is using bank resources (paid employees) to complete this transaction and thus the bank believes it should be compensated.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think they are dishonoring the check at all when they give you $98...$100 came out of the account (the $2 just went to the bank company).&nbsp; I&#039;m sure they would happily have given the full $100 if you had paid the $2 fee in cash or chosen to become a bank customer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I don&#039;t agree with it...but the logic is there.&nbsp; I think it puts a bad face on the bank and when the first impression to a potential new customer (maybe not today...but someday) is negative, you lose that potential customer.&nbsp; I think it&#039;s a bad way to try and make a buck.&nbsp; You think $2 is bad...like I said before, the bank I worked for charged $5.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
