I understand,,,,, Believe me.
Last week I called my local small town bank to confirm they could handle a wire transfer to purchase an RV. I have frequently done electronic transfers with USAA with no problems, and made the mistake of thinking ANY bank could do it.
After being assured they could at any time, I went 250 miles and came to an agreement with the owner. When I called my small town bank , they said they would be happy to wire the funds, AS SOON AS I CAME BACK TO VIRGINIA TO SIGN ONE OF THEIR STINKING LITTLE SLIPS OF PAPER.
They then sent me to a NC branch , but upon arrival I was told they only do mortgages there, but,,,, If I hurry I might be able to get to a small branch office 5 miles away, that would be closing in 15 minutes.
I got there in time, pulled cash to complete my purchase, and closed both of my accounts there today.
