The "F" word again

Today I dropped off 2 boxes at my local WaMu and the manager comes over and says they will need to start charging my $25 per box to deposit these coins. I was really suprised, they've always been so nice to me, and now this! I've only been at this 2 months and I've never dropped off more than 2 boxes a week and now I'm blacklisted. I've banked here for 15 years and I've got over $50k in CD's invested, oh well, must be time to move on. I'll have to find a larger branch or another bank. How do the rest of you handle these situations?

Best answer is to first find a new bank that does not charge for dumps and has a coin counting machine. Also, when I take in my dumps I never take in more than $700 or so at a time so as not to pi$$ off the teller who has to run them thru the machine. But $1000 is not that much, so I don't know why your bank got uppity with you.

Second, pull all your dough out of WaMu and tell them good riddance.

WAMU is one of my new banks also. But, before I signed up I bluntly told them that I will be depositing bags of coin. Not only did they have no problem with this they offered me an unadvertised incentive to join right away. A $75 american express gift check. All they ask is that I call ahead of time so they can have an armored car pick up if needed.

They advertise out here NO FEES !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remind them of that. Or go to a different branch and test the waters there. Don't tell them about the 1st branch, may give them ideas.

I was once asked (or rather told ) never to deposit in a local Wells Fargo branch because I fill up their vault. Made me feel good that I have more money than they do

Re: The "F" word again

1st thing 1st get as far away from those thieves as you can. Go to WaMu sucks and you will see what i mean. I tried to pay off my mothers loan after she died. They made it so difficult i hired an attorney so they could not foreclose on her home over a $20000 loan. Sorry about the rant but please do yourself a favor and move your money..aa

If I had 50K in CD's and they wanted to charge to deposit coin I'd talk to The Man. If we couldn't come to an understanding I'd move my money!

Re: The "F" word again

cyberdan, Where do they advertise "no fees", I'd like to bring that up the next time I'm in. I'm also a Left Coaster. There nearest bank with a coin machine is 50 miles away so I'll just take my dumps to the other branch office in town and try there. Although the last time I dumped $500 at that office they emptied each roll to verify them and then rerolled them in front of me. I guess I'll just have to rotate, I've got accounts at BofA also so a little here, a little there and maybe I can get by.

Re: The "F" word again

I take in nine grand at a time and my bank never complains or says the F word.

Good luck but I would close my account with them.
