    Key bank is one of the worst ones. They'll hold all their atm charges till the end of the month and dump them on your account all at once. If your paycheck is on autodeposit, they will wait till it comes in, then dump all their charges and any purchases (they'll hold those too) to drive your account in the hole. Then they charge $34 for each "overdraft." Then they charge $34 for every overdraft charge they just hit you with, so double charged. Then, and only then, will they deposit your pay. God help you if that isn't enough to cover the charges.

    See below.

    SO true. Maybe someone could get him a cape, and get him to put his underwear on over his pants, then they could make a movie about him.:biggrin_2552:

    He saved the bank untold amounts of money, #1, in not allowing this person to rob the bank.
    #2 saved them money in legal fees, for the prosecution of this person.

    And they FIRED him??? What a bunch of Barry's!!!

    If I were an account holder with this bank, I think I would close my account, and open an account at the bank where this guy goes to, IF another bank hires him.
    If he doesn't go to another bank, I think I'd still switch banks.

    Chasing down bank robbers wasn't in his job description. I know it sounds stupid, but if the thief had been armed and killed or maimed the teller; then his actions would have left the bank open to a huge law suit.

    Put yourself in management's position.

    What if he had gotten hurt?
