This is why I stick with small independantly owned banks. Our local bank knows me and my entire family. Most of the tellers have been there for many years. They will call if there is any problem (which is almost never). I have deposited grain checks for tens' of thousands of dollars (as much as $38K) and only seconds later write them a check for nearly the same amount for the balance of my loan. Never a problem!

We also use a local Savings and Loan bank that is owned and operated by local people. Several years back a large banking corporation (Planters Union) came into the county and bought up atleast 3 or 4 banks. Immediately they fired a lot of the full time employees (tellers and loan officers that had been with these banks for many, many years) and brought in "their" people" to operate them. These folks were arrogant, rude, and demanding. They treated all the customers and local folks like they were theives and fools. Well, I talked to one of the Savings and Loan tellers about 2 months after Planters came in to the area. The S&L teller said that they were getting about 80 new customers a day!!! Folks were pulling all their money from the Planters banks and going elsewhere. It didn't take Planters too long to see that you cannot treat folks with disrespect!

I would be looking around for a new bank if I got treated the way you describe!
