Repair leaks before the rain starts pouring. It is an independent bureau of the U. Department of the Treasury. Took it to same branch. The took seven dollars out for check fee. Can they do that.? He doesn't have account with them but didn't get what I wrote it for. If you do not have an account or are not contributing to the institution to which you are cashing a check with, you are therefore creating a cost for them.
In order to cover this cost you get the fee for cashing a check when you do not have an account with them. Makes sense..
Just open an account with a good institution, put on you big girl panties and put it through your own account. Problem solved. Nobody should be required to have a bank account at all in order to be on the receiving end of such transactions, and charging a fee just cheapens the promise.
And btw, no risk is transferred to the bank, who can just look right in the account to see if the money is there. Just because YOU post intimidating angry rants doesnt make you any smarter than my goldfish. Oh by the way, banks did not have anything to do with the bad loans? I guess the government just decided to hit them with one of there own fees then. No one is required to have a banking account nor I'd or driver license. Thanks for playing. They are not honoring that year old institution by then charging an additional fee to pay on their notes.
This is not capitalism, it's a con-man contractor taking payment for something and then japing you on the service they are to provide. Any good Conservative should be appalled by this lack of ethic, as we know that any good Democrat would be. Nothing happens between the bank teller's till and my hand that warrants or justifies such a fee.
Or perhaps you could consider it a penalty fee for not having an account with them. If you deposit it into your bank account you get the full amount, your bank pays no such fee to their bank. There is a chance that if you point this out and call them out on such unscrupulous business practices they will waive it.
In essence, such fees are no different than the requests at many businesses where you may be asked if you would like to donate to an amount of money to a charity, except the banks are implying such donations are required. Delta did something similar with their "live person" fee, which they have since discontinued. This is a great suggestion as they are already paying an annual fee for the checking account, there is no justifiable reason you should as well. It's also appalling that so many bankers get on here without any legal training or law degree swearing to us all that the law, or some bankers are dumb enough to say "regulators", require this fee.
Zhen to provide a citation to federal authority for the proposition that somehow a national bank can charge you a fee other banks cannot. Obviously, a third party cashing a check has no contract with the cashing bank. There is no law in California requiring persons to pay fees to banks in order to cash checks. Essentially, when you pay the fee, you are giving the bank a gift, because you don't owe the money. Surely, some money could shake loose.
Wishing you all the best out there. Next, it will not be two forms of identification and an unconscionable fee nobody has agreed to but the bank, but we will have to scan our right hand or foreheads in order to buy or sell. This check cashing fee has always been a manifestation of evil moneychangers, and shame on all those who extort it. Most banks don't want the customer to come back wanting to know what the check cashing fee they got back charged was or a tax issue so they will just wave the fee Back charging is the best, you take a check from someone in lieu of cash for convenience, BUT, if there is a fee involved for cashing said check it is on the person that wrote it So basically, the fee can be worked around one way or another Why do I have to pay for her convenience when she the check writer owed me money???
Idk for sure, but I imagine. It's so frustrating. I appreciate your comment. Totally understand. Think Wells Fargo. Or the bankers that caused the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression when their unchecked greed caused the housing market crash.
So work your low paying bank job while your bosses make billions off the backs of those who actually work. And by all means keep reading and spouting inspirational quotes like the one you provided above. Another reason to go to the bank the check is issued under versus your own is to protect your account against bad check fees. I've had friends cash checks by depositing the funds in their personal account and then making purchases as usual and ended up getting overdraft fees as well as bad check fees, the issuer of the check was long gone!
So that peace of mind is false hope! Banks given modern convention should be able to immediately assess whether or not funds are available and pay accordingly without fees. If one bank can successfully cash checks without fee, this indicates that this is possible for all of them! Stop defending injustice! Honestly, the amount of time they spend arguing with non customers about insignificant fees is more costly in value than just cashing the check would be.
The more you talk, the dumber you seem. Do you think this is fun to me? Hell no, this is a headache I deal with everyday and now I'm dealing with it in my down time?
This is not fun to me. My real problems though is the attitude and how people are going about "solving" this, they come on line and complain on forums and it does nothing but convince people how "righteous" their cause is.
Or worse and more common they come in and yell at me like I can control those fees or like I put them in play personally. And I can't and I didn't, it's how the system is, a system Americans and people of the world have let be built because they don't want to take more responsibility and control by learning more about banking or having a direct hand in it's growth. Because the reality is that once you're in banking you get to see how dirty banking really is.
And I don't mean plain old corrupt, I mean how tough it is. This is why customer service is so terrible to have a job in, because you are in a job where you're trying to help people and you are hated for it. I listed solutions earlier but basically the only way it will change is if you can get corporate to take a pay cut OR if you manage the banks expense sheets and prove that they do not need the extra revenue, again, the expenses for banking are massive and unseen.
It is not free to keep the money in branches, to pay the low level guys like me, to keep the lights on, to cover all the fraud customers we get, etc. Banking is expensive, and that is long before corporate payouts. The only way to change it again, is higher level corporate consideration for the consumer but since banks hold all the cards right now, frankly they are not inclined to care.
The only way to change it is for people to learn the system enough to change it from within, banking is too extensive and too integral to everyday lives, there is no other way. The banks can't do whatever is commercially convenient for them, and never have been able to.
You appear to fit in that category, as I quite explicitly observed that banks should charge the person who banks with them any fees they need to: the third party receiving the check has no choice but to employ the bank's services to get their cash ie the receiver of the check generally has no choice to "include a middle man" in the transaction, as you put it. How is that solely the banks fault? You gave the banks your money, for YOU, not other people, for you. At every account opening you sign an agreement with the bank between you and them, it does not include other people being able to take your money out of your account for free, at least not always, because yeah there are a few.
Fees should be charged to the customer who issued the check, I think, not the non-customer trying to cash it. Many poor people don't have access to the banking system, and charging these fees hurts these people disproportionately to the size of the fees.
In situations like this, when a business has little incentive to protect a vulnerable group, they can either choose to be socially responsible, or should be forced to by legislation and regulation. That is exactly what I was trying to find out.
Your a real Jack Ass. I see you've been brainwashed. Let me describe what a check is. When a person writes a check to anyone, the amount is written to the penny. Never to be altered by some arbitrary bank policy. Meaning the check the bank is written on, is ordered to pay the exact amount. Obviously, insufficient funds, no proper I. Sense when is it legal for a bank to alter the amount of any check, because of a policy. I am handed a check for payment. Yet I can't get the whole amount by cashing the check where the person paying me is told that "yes, just give some one a check and we will honor the check".
It's certainly not mine. Just give me my CASH then. You're arguing me on public v private banking? Its the same thing to the consumer, the difference doesn't matter at this point. Look, I dont care about being right, I dont care about you being wrong, I'm telling you that this train of thought, this path of action without thought is reckless and careless.
You want a bank that doesn't charge fees? I want a better America, and neither one of us is going to get what we want by playing king of the hill. I've dealt with the fees and now I'm working on doing what I can to improve the system, it's almost nothing but it's better than whatever the heck it is you're ranting on.
The fees are there, they are not going anywhere anytime soon. If you want them to leave then improve the system because you can't replace it. Bankers aren't butlers, they don't serve you and your friends, they serve you, the customer with the account in front of them.
And yes, it is a money making ploy. When was the last time you looked at a banks expense sheet? You think branches are free? I can't write the F-Word or they'll hold my comments for a month, but what the hell are you talking about?
You will never put the fed out of business, and not because of your fantasy nationwide credit union but because you depend on it too much. It's in your wallets, in your stores, in your kids college educations.
You, me, our parents, they built this system and their is no way out of it like that without tearing down society and Americans are too lazy to let that happen. All we need to do is put the Fed out of business, print our OWN currency as provided by the constitution and institute a public bank with all profits from interest less salaries to adminster into the public treasury.
Billions of income for the texpayers and a pestilential and almost an entire parastic class of society out of business. What are they giving the bank in exchange for that service? Because the bank is just giving them money, no? Like, just handing some random person money if you take away that fee.
But if he doesn't want to be there with the person they wrote their check to or have to carry all that cash around then he can let that person cash it and that person will pay for their laziness. They do this so customers do not have to face the fees when cashing. This is the only time a non-customer fee is waived. Again, this is a business, they have to make money, just paying people hourly to stand there and cash checks, run the ATM's, handle all that cash, even the lights, COST.
Banks aren't paid for with your taxes they need to make money to stay open. The universe doesn't give a damn about your morality or conscience, it cares about balance. You want someting then you give to get it. And the old? They should have thought smarter when they were young. You hate my answer? These are hard truths that ignoring does no good, facts are facts. People want the world to baby them, they dont want it to be fair, but the thing is, only a fair world can sustain itself because it will never take more than it can give.
No need to handle the transaction or recall twice. Whats so hard about that? No need for 4 individuals getting paid to review,look over,manage Does the branch often recognize you for going in to cash checks as a non-customer? The check-cashing fee is put in place to reduce the risk that a check is cashed, but bounces later. If the bank knows you're a familiar face, they might have removed the fee just for you.
Can't find anything on their website about the change. But mine was free! They never pushed me to open an account with them like Bank of America. I think most of the banks have changed their policies!!! Please update the information If you want the funds available immediately you have to cash it at the bank it was drawn from. That is why the banks know that they can profit off of people who need the funds immediately.
Why is that so much of an issue? Who uses cash anymore anyway? None of these policies are hidden and the number of options you have are vast when it comes to using your money. Be better with your money and don't just blame the banks. That check is a contract between the writer of the check and the person written to. The bank is not entitled to any portion of it. Isn't there some movement or petition under way to protest this with our owned by the banks Congress?
A Bank is obliged to make good on the promise of payment made on their checks, a. If they want to charge their customers a few dollors for writing checks, so be it, but it should never be the responsibility of the recipients of a promised payment to pay an extortion fee before they can receive their money: Or to be blackmailed into opening up an account with their bank.
Whether or not you have another bank account or not is totally irrelevant; in fact if you deposit it in you own bank account you are not charged a dime, which implies a prejudice, as well as, extortion. The argument of added costs, which the banks will give you when you question the charge, is one best given to their own customers, not the recipients of payment from their customers who should expect that if they write a check to a person, for what ever reason personal or business, that the check will be honored and paid in full to such person, by their bank without delay or added charges.
I mean what does being underpaid have to do with check cashing fees? Aren't most of us "overworked and underpaid"? Many of the banks did not need the money but were forced to take the money because, if everyone did not take it, then those that did would risk looking 'at risk' and cause a collapse.
