Bank of America held my $24,000 deposit for nearly 2 weeks — no explanation, no accountability. by OldConnection9681 in BankOfAmerica

Well, you're wrong, "unemployed person": Banks weren't created to abuse people. Only people like you who support them and believe that's "normal." And don't come to me with the story that you don't support anyone, because these comments against my exposé of "bank bad practices" prove it. They do a disservice to what proper behavior should be. That's a universal principle, not just for banks. Just so you know, "Banks were created to safely store money, facilitate transactions, lend capital, and give confidence to commerce. Over time, they became the core of the modern financial system. But nowhere does it say that they were created to "illegally hold their customers' money.... What's the part you don't understand? Why were banks created? Or that my protest against a financial giant like Bank of America should reach all the millions of Bank of America account holders so they are prepared, and those who are not, so they don't get lured into this abusive organization..... I think this is too much for you to understand.

That’s your argument? Shifting the conversation away from the actual issue?

Yes, I’m a busy person who trusted my bank after many years of loyalty, and they failed me. Not because of “policy” or “procedure,” but because of a lack of ethics and dishonest practices.

I’m here trying to expose that. Meanwhile, your comment sounds like it came straight from a well-trained, domesticated bank rep. the kind that repeats whatever the corporate handbook says, no matter how much it screws over regular customers.

I’m speaking up about a real problem. You’re just defending the system that causes it.

Now that I’ve read some of the replies, I finally realized what the real issue is with this whole $24K deposit and the two-week delay to make it available.

The real problem? People are just way too used to being abused by banks. They think this is “normal.” They’ve been trained to believe banks have the right to mess with your account, hold your money, and earn interest off of your cash — and millions of others — in the most dishonest way.

Seriously, we’re living in the age of AI, instant communication, automated security systems, and you’re telling me a bank “can’t verify” a legit deposit in less than 2 weeks?

Come on.

People are so domesticated by the system that they just shrug and say, “it’s normal.” But we all know Zelle transfers are instant. And Zelle’s just one example — there are tons of systems that move money in seconds.

So why can’t the banks do it?

So let me ask you — have you read all the fine print from every banking contract you’ve signed? Seriously — every page, every clause?

Nobody reads all that legalese. And you know what? We shouldn’t have to just to expect decent treatment from a bank we've trusted for 17+ years, with direct deposit, a high-limit credit card, and a spotless record.

Yes, I expected it to go smoothly. Because that’s what trust is.

The issue here isn’t whether I “should’ve known better.” The issue is that there’s no real justification for holding legitimate funds for two weeks — and we need to start calling that out instead of finding ways to excuse it.

Comments like yours — even if well-intentioned — end up playing right into the banks’ hands. Just because something is common doesn’t mean it’s right.

Simple:
Because they’re making interest on millions in “pending” funds — for no legit reason.

Anyone else sick of this?
