A Thread on American Banking Options That Don't Suck a Caribou's Ass

Thanks, that's interesting, although I don't understand why this isn't a problem in Europe? Do you know of any consumer banks that will allow transfers between banks or is it a blanket thing?

This has become a major asspain in trying to manage finances across two continents. I can mail myself a cheque to my dollar account in london which has to be mailed back by the bank to clear taking about a month or suffer paypal's fees for something that used to be a click away. I appreciate the banks concerns but it seems like this is hard to do now even if I go into the back branch with ID and try and get the transfer initiated from there.

Other than this PNC does not seem to suck caribou ass, i guess I haven't tested them too hard but on the plus side they refund all ATM fees, which is nice given that I feel that a $5 atm fee can't be far in my future.
