  3.  @Random_Identity  pay ATTENTION to what I wrote (since you’re the only one in this comments section that seems to have a brain). She may have deposited the check and THEN — expecting the funds to be available to her immediately — wrote other checks which caused her account balance to become overdrawn some days later. 99 percent of the time, that is why a bank will close an account. Banks don’t close accounts just for fun. At the time she made the deposit, the instructions on her receipt would’ve CLEARLY explained to her (and/or the teller told her) that those funds would not be available for at least a couple of days, but she didn’t listen to the teller and/or she didn’t bother to read the fine print. The bounced check(s) is still 100 percent her fault. You WAIT for a check to clear and the bank to release a hold on the funds. If she had opted to receive her payment by direct deposit (and you can BET she was given that option) she could’ve avoided all this hassle AND saved herself a trip to the bank. With direct deposit, there is no “waiting” or “verification”. The minute the funds are in your account they are available for your use. Lack of familiarity with technology is not an excuse. Are you also going to say that we shouldn’t have vending machines because they take jobs away from cashiers? Are you going to say we shouldn’t have computers because they take jobs away from typewriter repairmen? (Edit: I changed the word “cash” to “deposit”. I meant deposit).

  13.  @ladymacan7874  she walked into the bank with a check for $25,000 . Any check even HALF that amount is gonna have an automatic hold placed on the funds by the bank for verification. I’ve deposited checks for only $200 that took like 2-3 days to clear. But according to the report, she went back into the bank a day later (with her daughter no less, who does that unless they’re looking for trouble?) demanding that the funds be available to her. That’s absurd. How much money you want to bet that she and her daughter walked into that bank loaded for bear and started screaming racism accusations at the tellers for not bending all the rules just for them? From the Federal Reserve website: There is no federal law that requires a bank to cash a check, even a government check. Some banks only cash checks if you have an account at the bank. Other banks will cash checks for non-customers, but they may charge a fee. You should shop around for the bank that best meets your needs. Following is from the website of the U.S. Comptroller of the Currency (what THEY say matters a HELL of a lot more than what YOU say): For check deposits over $5,525, banking laws and regulations allow for exceptions to the rules on availability of funds. These exception holds may be applied to any checks (including official or government-issued checks) to any account where the aggregate amount of the checks deposited on a banking day exceeds $5,525. Good luck to the lady and that idiot lawyer of hers trying to prove that ridiculous lawsuit.

  100.  @ij2750  First of all, stop upvoting your own comments, okay? That looks pathetic. Second, I’m insulted you would think I’d be stupid enough to believe 1) that you routinely deposit $20,000 checks and 2) that you have no problems doing so. Because even Jeff Bezos would run into issues if he tried to deposit checks in those amounts. Stop declaring what banks are supposed to do and not supposed not to do. You obviously have never worked in a bank, and based on the nonsense you’ve written here, I doubt you even graduated college. From the website of the Federal Reserve: ”There is no federal law that requires a bank to cash a check, even a government check. Some banks only cash checks if you have an account at the bank. Other banks will cash checks for non-customers, but they may charge a fee. You should shop around for the bank that best meets your needs.” ”No federal consumer protection law requires your bank to return your original check. Many banks destroy original paper checks after putting them into electronic form, often to save the expenses of storing or mailing paper checks. Increasingly, check processors make electronic images of your checks and destroy the paper checks that you wrote. A law called Check 21 gives you legal protections when your bank sends you images of your check instead of the paper check. More information on Check 21 is on the Board of Governors' website.” Oh let me guess…now you’re gonna tell me you used to be president of a bank. 😂
