According to the blog Dollars and Sense, Bank of America has wronged America once more. Perhaps a lineup change is needed. B of A hasn’t been able to hit its way out of a paper bag lately. They’re shelling out multimillions for sports marketing, so their employees must all still have jobs, right? Wrong. Plus, Kenneth Lewis’ black hole is now preying upon the “unbanked” and others who depend upon cash advance loans at times.

The BoA branch in the Dollars and Sense author’s part of town is engaging in open class warfare. The elegant, executive-chic area for big-account investors is conveniently located at street level. If you’re a run-of-the-mill customer, you have to go down a flight of stairs and into a “dingy and low-ceilinged space reminiscent of a welfare office.”

Wait… it gets MUCH better

The author, who is not a Bank of America account holder, went into the nether-regions to cash his paycheck. Despite the fact that the check drew upon a Bank of America account and was made out to the author, the bank required him to pay a $6 fee. To make matters worse, he was required to leave them with a fingerprint – “for security.”

They already charge $3 for out-of-network ATM users. While I don’t agree with it, I can see how they might justify that.

How Bank of American and other megalithic banks can be allowed to nickel-and-dime anyone anymore is beyond me. Alternatives exist. Bank of America is being sued and is losing, all because of their practices. With so many people locked out of mainstream banking and big banks reeling during these difficult economic times, you’d think they’d work a little bit harder to draw customers.
