And thats not to say they havent fucked up my account numerous times over the years. I think the difference is that the person that I opend my account retired as a bank VP which gave her some clout in the later years.

They know that I am an online consultant and that is it. Over they years I have moved a lot of money thru there. I learned quickly that I have 2 business accounts and one personal.

In this day and age I think Im going to establish a savings account with one of the credit unions whos rules are a litttle more flexible and where I have a back up of cash flow.

Id be very careful in getting into the details of what you do with a bank. Tell them your a journalist or something like that if they press details.

I know youve lived here at one point in your life and you can understand that playing things down is a much better policy than being right in their face.
