1 /5 Self Proclaimed: I went in to cash a money order and came out with an unnecessary checking account. Regardless of any miscommunication that could have happened during the conversations, I clearly stated to the teller that I wanted to cash my money order. So obviously I had intentions on having the money immediately available. She explained that I would need to have an account with them, but that I would then be able to cash out my money order after everything was said and done. I had other matters to tend to and wanted the money available to me so I figured, "
Im already here and I could possibly find another use for this account." I wrongly assumed that the teller communicated the very important piece of information that I wanted the money immediately available to me, so after everything was said and done with the account manager Ill call her since I dont know her technical title, Misty I believe her name was, she tells me it would overall be roughly 8 days before the full amount would be available in my newly acquired account. Ill simply assume the teller that initially helped me was lacking knowledge regarding cashing money orders because the other option is that she purposely misled me just to get someone to open an account with them. I kept thinking that I could still potentially find something useful with the account, just so Id get something out of this pointless experience so I went ahead and opened it. Bank of America offers absolutely nothing that I couldnt already get at my other bank at a better value and this branch location specifically was a genuine waste of time. If I could rate dark stars, they would get 5 pitch black stars for this unnecessary service. I could definitely add more content regarding my frustration, but this review is quite extensive as it is.
