Don't tell the bank that! They'll think you a nutjob. The threat of switching banks also means their competitor would gain.

No, by the admission of one of their own tellers, they did NOT! "We NEVER tell anyone about that."

The teller could be wrong, could mean they never tell you in person. I've seen plenty of blank looks from tellers when asking a simple question to know they aren't informed. Maybe your bank is different.

Your story does make me recall all those relatives who hid $... now they don't seem so crazy. Have banks always been sleazy?

Heck, I'm gonna threaten to turn them into the Federal BAnk people. I was checking the rules last night, and their banking practices are highly irregular at best!

She was one of the head tellers and three other tellers were standing around listening to us at the time (it was a slow day), and none of them corrected her. Plus earlier when I had asked specifically about the amount of over-draft charges I could incur with the card, I was told $100.00.

Banks were better twenty years ago then what they are now. Your relatives might have grown up in the depression or had parents who did when a lot of banks went under and everyone who had money in them lost most if not all their savings.
