bank merger/sale sorta

[jamiethearcher]

I just got a letter in the mail today, saying that my bank had sold its branches in the area to another bank, and now my account is being switched over to the new bank.

I guess there isn't really any difference in terms of one big bank over another, but its still pretty frustrating they can do this without telling me untill after its already happened!

has this happened to anyone else?

Boatman's Bank -> Nation's Bank -> Bank of America.

I guess it was supposed to be a convenience since each time it was bought out by a bigger bank, but if I'd wanted a huge national bank, but along with that came rigid policies and procedures that suck.

Now using a nice, small 3 branch community bank and am perfectly happy.

do they offer you things like online banking etc? I have gotten so used to paying bills online and whatnot, I don't think I could go back!

First, I want to apologize for that previous post. I'm rather tired and I guess my mind changed gears mid-sentence, which led to the blurb about 'huge national bank' followed by the confusing blurb about 'rigid policies'.

Moving on, yes it has online banking available.
