Citizens Bank " profit " !
I do my modest, I admit, banking at Citizens Bank. I keep a pauper's
sum of money in my account ( 0047967279 ) for the sole purpose of being
able to cash my paycheck there on Fridays. My pathetic account never
earned a penny profit for me. But it must be quite profitable for the
owners of Citizens Bank. They must make a not so small fortune from
humble people's petty bank accounts.
I have two receipts from the bank. One of them is dated 26BUN98 . It
is a deposit for the grand sum of $10.00 CASH ( THANK YOU ). Today
I needed that money . Today is 02JUL98 . The bank teller gave me one of
those looks reserved for dead rats. I could only withdraw $8.00. I was
charged $2.00 for their SERVICE. They deducted the $2.00 from only $10.00
that I had in the bank FOR LESS THAN A WEEK !
No doubt they explain this with the usual banking business gibberish.
But I have a gut feeling it is a RACKET . THANK YOU !
