I have an electrical contracting business that I run, in addition to my full time job. I have been a member of this bank (Astoria Federal Savings) with a business checking account for about 8 years. Occasionally, my customers pay in cash. I like to keep some cash around the house (Usually one hundred dollar bills. It's harder to spend on stupid stuff that way). Once a month the bank sends me a statement detailing any fees that they've charged during the previous month. Since that doesn't add up to anything significant, I don't normally pay attention to it. In January my account got real low, so I figured that I'd better deposit some cash. Went to the bank and deposited $1100.00. I looked at that statement today and discovered that they charged me $2.20 for that deposit. Twenty cents per bill to deposit cash??? WTF? I also realized that I deposited $700 this month. I thought they were nickle and dime-ing me when I took out my mortgage. Me and the branch manager will be having a little talk later this morning. Jeez, I know the economy is tough and all but....
