Another bank rant...

[BigToque]

I got charged $10 to receive a wire transfer!

It's one thing to charge to send money (which costs $45!), but to be charged to have money automatically put in my account is fscking insane! Do I get charged to have someone come to the bank and deposit money into my accont using a teller? Nope. But I get charged to have nobody do any work at all.

I HATE CIBC WITH A PASSION! I hope their banks all get robbed or hit with a nuke or something.

And to think I complained when one of my Credit Unions charged me $9 to transfer funds to my other credit union. I though they were ripping me off until I read your post. Thanks, I feel better now.

Most banks and CU's charge for incoming wire transfers because of fees to connect to the FED and SWIFT lines.

My bank charges 8 for wire transfers.

Cant they use some of the millions they are making from us letting them invest our money in the first place?

I hate places that charge for wire transfers. Merril Lynch wanted $30 to wire me an IRA distribution. $30?! Give me a break. I bet it costs them MORE in time and manpower to mail me a check, but that's what they're going to do, then.

Banks generate considerable (millions) revenue from fees alone. The numbers are staggering.

That's why I prefer local CU's over large corporate banks, although I work for one

Wire transfers have fees on both sides, the sender and the receiver.

I work for a small local bank, and we charge nothing for incoming wires, but $15 - $25 for outgoing.

It's only going to get worse. There are some high level merger discussions going on right now.

The 3 largest "mega" banks are just HUGE
CitiBank + Chase + BOFA = banking regulation nightmare.
