Just one of BofA many problems, like the worst customer service on earth. I had forgotten how bad they were, opened an account as it was nationwide. What a mistake that was, EVERY transaction had to be approved. Use your card at the gas station, have to wait for the text to pay them. I would be standing there in front of them, and wanted to send me a text verifying it was me. Repeatedly froze my account for 'fraud' like using my card to buy things. Then hours on the phone to get it fixed each time. The branch nearest me was closed due to lack of employees, you needed an appointment for anything at the other branches. Then after hours of back and forth they make the threat to call the cops if you object to being treated that way. Fine give me every penny of it right now, find another bank. Would think with a deposit over $100,000 they would put a little effort into keeping you as a customer. Nope, plenty more where you came from.
Yes if you have a pending sale transfer with your Bank of America account and you log into your app it says it right up at the top >

I use Chase and not BoA, and have been using Zelle for a couple years now to pay for stuff done around the house. It used to be that I'd fill out the payment and it would transfer immediately. For the last couple months, I fill out the payment and it has an "i" prompt that says "in process" and says it may take 1-3 days. Just had a ceiling painted a week ago, and the transfer took a little less than 24 hours. Sounds like a Zelle thing...also payee was not BoA.
I also thought Zelle may be having a more heavy load from new users as it's not included in the IRS $600 reporting that has since been postponed. >

Forgive me, as I wrote off BOA as a scam institution in the early 2000's and haven' done business with them since in favor of using actual banks.
Is the world at large unaware of BOA's issues?  Is there a circumstance where people are unable to obtain accounts at a finical institution other than a scam mill like BOA, GS, or WF?  Is BOA currently portrayed as a legitimate financial institution in the media? >

Yes most are not aware of BOA's historical problems. At this point it's just willful ignorance. >

It’s not willful ignorance. If I have to go out of my way to look up past news articles or follow financial news in general to not be ignorant, and in contrast I’m being shown BoA ads on billboards, buses, mail ads, tv ads, etc without my interest or opting in, I’m not going to learn the truth - unless I look for it. 
In this case, I’m passively ignorant. I’m not trying to bury my head in the sand, it’s just those telling the for and against stories about BoA are not equal in size nor scope. 
Please stop blaming the victims, and expecting people to think the same way you do. >

Wow. I research before I put my money anywhere. Bank of America ripping off its own customers is kind of huge and old news. Sorry about you being you. >

I've had money in BoA since 2009 and never had any problems. What is bad about them? >

They got in trouble for breaking some rules. IIRC, they'd separate purchases so they could charge maximum amounts of overdraft fees for one, but could be wrong. I'm sure there's others though. >

Most banks do that. Not that's it's okay but doesn't make them shitty specifically
