…a few months back. I love it.
Since then, I’ve been slowly trying to whittle down what’s left in my US Bank checking account, hoping that I could just spend it down to zero and avoid having to go in and close the account in person.
No such luck. As it turns out, you have to go in to close the account, mostly so they can try and talk you out of leaving. So today I finally bit the bullet and went into a branch office to take out whatever small amount I had left in my checking.
I literally had one penny.
I laughed out loud as they made me sign for the proof of receipt.
Goodbye, US Bank… or any bank for that matter. And good riddance.
Banks are evil,

You should send them an invoice for the time it involved you to close your penny down. If you’re freelance and you spent 10 minutes there, I’d say that’s worth $20.00 at the bare minimum. haha!

Man, if my freelance rates were near that I wouldn’t be terribly in debt! I like your idea though. I should just send them an invoice and see where it gets me.

Do it Justin. Best to see how they respond.
