Yup. It must have been liberals that drove WAMU to the brink of insolvency. It must have been liberals that drove the stock price fom $36 to 45 cents.
Could not have been greedy inept management. No doubt.

Back on-point.. Have you looked into Banmex/ Citibank relationship for Loreto. It was my undertsanding that there are no ATM fees charged when
withdrawing funds in Loreto.
Maybe it is time to "move on"..

I am also a member of the I hate Chase club. I never had a checking or savings account there but I had a Juniper credit account that I was happy with
until Chase bought them out, raised the interest rate and the minute the U.S. Postal Snail was a day late with my payment they grabbed my cojones and
twisted hard. When I called to protest I found myself talking to some dot head in Mumbai. I paid off the account and have had nothing to do with
Chase since (as far as I know).
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

There is a Santander ATM machine in the police station in Mulege. I just got cash there a couple of days ago with my B of A ATM card. No charge from
either side.
I have always had an adversary attitude with regards to B of A. It certainly is not A.P. Giannini's Bank of America anymore. The only reason for
keeping an account there is because of the multitude of ATM machines....convenience! If you use them or their affiliates, you are not charged a fee.
Bank of America and other banks have sold off their credit card operations. They changed my Mastercard and Visa from a fixed interest rate to a
variable. I have always had a (low) fixed interest rate because I have never had a late payment. My FICO score is 808. What a disservice!
I also use their "Safesend" service to send money to myself while in Mulege..no charge and it is wired to the Telecom office.
I heard on the grapevine ( maybe while sipping wine) that Chase credit card holders will be getting charged a monthly fee next year if they pay off
their balances in full each month. If you cancel them it will reflect poorly on your credit rating. This is probably the way of the near future for
all credit cards. They are all scrambling to screw you before Obama's new bank regulations take effect next year. The regulations can't be implemented
soon enough to stop the greedy SOBs.
Ask DK...it is probably all the goverment's fault.

And before 2006, that other one-party rule was so much better? Actualy, the country I grew up in started changing after the election of Reagan.
Started with the firing of the air traffic controlers that basically emboldened industry to think they could run roughshod over workers, move the jobs
overseas, eliminate benefits, Etc.

I have accounts in Chase (former WAMU) and B of A. Wire transfers from the government to B of A are almost simultaneous. Chase takes about 6 days.
Even transfers from a Chase account to a B of A account take over a week. While from B of A to Chase are much faster.
Right now, B of A is the least of all evils.

Thanks, Arrowhead. I'm thinking that Chase uses the float.

Do any nomads have good experiences with low fee banks? Like credit unions. Usually the fewer branches a bank has the lower the fees.

Bank of America -- no fees on either end when you use Santander or Scotia Bank ATMs.

I was wondering. I've heard a story, unverified. Someone I know who was a WAMU customer, now Chase, and is on direct deposit social security, told me
that since Chase officially took over, their account is being funded 5-6 days later each month. Supposedly, there is a mandatory last date, but that
the funds transfers were always made ahead of time. It makes it appear that Chase hold onto the funds for their own use. Any nomads at Chase who have
direct deposit SS? |
This is simply not true. They DID receive bailout money; they just paid it back earlier than expected. Same goes for Goldman Sachs.
I imagine gnukid will have a few things to say about these firms. Expecially JPM Chase. Imagine the combined might of the JP Morgan holdings and the
Rockefeller family bank.

Hook- You are correct. I did misspeak about not taking bailout funds. However, I believe the rest of my post was correct. JP Morgan Chase paid $1.9
bil to the FDIC to acquire WAMU, and in addition to the assets, assumed $176 bil in home loans, many of which were troubled. They repaid the Tarp
money last May.

Don't know how much "X" is but I'm with Wells Fargo and have never heard of such a thing as reimbursement for ATM fees. Was this automatic or do you
have to call them and b-tch and moan? |

I've been with Wells Fargo for years and have never have had ATM fees waived or reimbursed. They charge the same ATM fee if I use Banamex in San
Felipe or Bank of America in Albuquerque.
Tell me how to get this done.

Hey durrelllrobert!
We hate that too! And then there's a bus stop to really make things interesting!
We try to avoid the branch as much as possible and use the ATM at the Commercial Mexicana.

We find the Santander ATM on the inside of the Modelo Agencia on the outskirts of Guaymas VERY convenient.
