any BOA bankers gonna do this?

Sounds like an ok idea to me...and you can abalance your checkbook easier, cos its all whole numbers!! ;)

I do it with real change, so I guess virtual change'll work too.

Another kinda weird thing I do is save $1 bills like change. If you do this consistently, you will easily have a few hundy in a month or 2.

I am on a money saving kick, I guess.

I've though about it as well.... Won't they double your change for the first few months as well?

Yeah, for 3 months. And I use my debit card a lot, cos there's no BOA's here...

I've been doing this for several months now, and i like it. for me it ends up being like an extra 10 or 15 dollars a month in my savings, which i'll happily take. this is one of the only things i like about BoA...

i like the site key login on the online banking as well. I heard on Clark Howard that they are currently the only bank using that level of encryption.

that's two good things in fifteen years as my bank....

I love BOA, but hate the SiteKey and don't have a BOA Savings account, so the change thing doesn't apply.

Too late to keep the change
Too late to pay
No time to stay the same
Too young to leave

You were just pissed that "Burning Homeless Person" wasnt a site key pic option.

I really like BOA too. However, even despite their crazy encryptioness, people are still hacking into their system.

Someone just stole almost 500 bucks from me by hacking into the computer system. Within 2 weeks I had to get two new check/debit cards sent to me with different card numbers. Apparently someone was waiting for people to activate new cards and then withdrawing money from their accounts. This was only for accounts opened in Washington/Idaho.

Pretty crazy. But, I did get the money credited back to me within 24 hours and all I ahd to do was wait for my new card and sign a form saying I didn't profit from the fraud. It was pretty painless minus the initial scare of being in the negative in my checking account.

Haven't checked out the keep the change thing. I am gonna though.

I agree that their online interface is pretty good, and the online bill-pay works pretty well too. however, i've found this bank to be full of hidden fees. it seems that most of the little things that i do that they advertise as "free" end up costing me money. i'm not sure if there are better options, but honestly i liked my account better when it was still 'fleet' or even 'bank boston' before then. the merger hasn't really done anything for me except make shit more expensive.

no, I'm there with you. The only thing worse than Bank Of America to me is SunTrust.

We don't have Bank of America or Suntrust here, but it sounds like a cool idea.

Mine is a remnant from my days in GA...hell I've had this acc't since HS, would be weird to change now.

I don't really LOVE BOA, but if you keep money in your account, they are fine...its when you start bouncing checks that shit starts to suck, BAD.

My auto-loan was supplied thru Landmark Credit. But, otherwise, I have no c.u. involvement.

Like what? I have that no frills account which is geared to online users, plus direct deposit from my PT job, so I have no fees whatsoever as long as I don't go inside the bank more than three times per month. I'm fine with that, because I'm not sure I actually step foot in the bank in the past year. I just do everything through the drive-thru.
