I have to complain about Chase bank a bit. Annalisa needed to deposit some money into her account at Chase. I thought I’d do it for her because I was already out, so I pulled cash out of my business account at a separate bank and went straight to Chase.
The cash was like really fresh cash too. You know the cash that looks like it’s fresh off the print and still smells… like cash? But at Chase, they said they wouldn’t let me deposit cash directly into her account. They said that I had to run down to 7-11 and get a money order.
What?!! Since when is cash not welcome? I’m sure Walmart would love that cash, Best Buy wouldn’t turn me away, just about any business would welcome cash… but not Chase bank. If it’s about counterfeit risk, aren’t they a bank and should be able to detect that better than anyone else? So… what? They are looking to offset their risk onto western union or whatever money service was at 7-11? That’s just pathetic.
