Well, it's pretty clear that BOA doesn't want our business. If you know someone without status and have a BOA account, tell them to switch bank before their hard earn money get stolen by BOA.

I bank with a credit union, no nonsense so far.

Also this practice of banks not lending to "assault rifles" manufacturers should be illegal. More people playing politics when they shouldn't be. More virtue signaling and undoubtedly losing customers and business.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

I left Wells Fargo because they were esentially doing the same shit but with their credit cards, I'm with BOA now.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

I’m with boa

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

What’s a good alternative to BOA?

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

I have BOA and Chase... I'm gonna close BOA account and move completely to Chase...

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

Chase.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

Any specific requirements for Chase?

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

I’ve never banked with BOA. My step dad (who’s a citizen) has had many issues with them. I have been with US Bank since 2009 with thankfully no issues.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

They asked me to answer the dual citizenship question when I signed into my account with my new computer lol. I just skipped.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

Chase's ass wanted my passport. Wouldn't take EAD or DL as proof. Fuck em

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

Switching from wells fargo ASAP.

Chase, BOA and wells fargo appear to be giving issues, any other branch that we could use?

I make quite a bit, i dont want to face bullshit with my money.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

I use to have Bank of America but they were awful. I’m happily with Chase now.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

I bank with Chase, not sure they will pull this kind of BS.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

Before DACA came out, I was able to open an account with Chase by just providing my passport. I just told the banker "it's complicated" he said no problem, didn't ask any further questions and opened me an account.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

Bank of AmeriKKKa.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

To open an account with Chase, I only had to provide my ID and foreign passport. They didn't ask any question.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

I have ally bank. everyone should switch to ally. I use BOFA just for transfers.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

I only needed a school ID and ITIN to open account with Chase back in 2010. Been with them ever since, no problems whatsover

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

I also have Ally savings and they have 1.75% interest on savings account.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship

seams fishy and looks like they are new wouldnt trust them with my money.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

plus hasnt even been released to the public officially

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

From what I understood was that the guy had not answer the question of citizenship and because he fail to give a response the account was frozen but not because he wasn't a citizen. All you need to do is answer the question and you are all set they don't freeze your account for being undocumented. If they did they would have never let anyone open one. When I opened my account I used my passport or consular card no problem. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

i'm with citibank because they don't have any issues at the moment...but i also have ally because they have better interest rates.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

That actually happened to my mom last month. My mom has been with bank of america for more than 20 years I believe. It all started when her credit line was increased and made a few wire transactions to her other bank account. immediately she called customer service and asked what the issue had been and sure enough the person was inquiring about her status. It was a bit confusing at first since the bank has all that information on file, needless to say she even got a mortgage loan through them.The issue was not solved with just simple phone call, she personally had to go to an office branch with her paperwork just to clarify the situation.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

my brokerage account laughs at your 1.75% and all banking plebs.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

My wife (USC), just got a letter from Chase requesting her Citizenship status. I bank with WF and they asked something similar a couple of years ago. When I first opened WF account all they asked me was for an ID and ITIN.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

Scary as shit, make sure y’all pull out all the cash right before your daca expires !

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

Honestly, I think BofA is one of the more immigrant friendly banks. I have 3 Credit cards with them with limits of 9k, 18k, and 22k . Wells won't even approve me for a CC due to status but they do own my mortgage loan of 275k lol idiots. I do have a Chase CC too with a limit of 18k also. I have no issues with BofA but I guess Chase would be the next best thing .

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

I bank with Schwab, unlimited automatic rebates on all atm charges lol

If you travel a lot just pull that cash money from anywhere - ain’t no thing

Mobile checks take a little longer than Wells Fargo did but it’s a non-issue for the most part.


===

For the most part tho credit unions might be a safer bet. There is even a Latino based coop in Durham where I live. They’re as competitive as any bank but I don’t use them

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

What prompts a bank to ask you for your citizenship status?

I've had Chase since my first DACA was granted in 2012 and never had that quesiton asked of me.

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

You guys realize that it is required for a bank to know your citizenship right? I work in Financial Services and they need to report their deposits appropriately.. They don't care if you are here legally or not, they care what is your country of citizenship and if you are a US Resident or not and by US Resident meaning having a proof of address in the US.

PS. I am laughing at all of you getting some shit 1.75% while I am fully invested in markets and I am printing money :-) go Trump Go

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

bitch plz, you know this week's been shit in the market

Re: Bank of America Freezes Family's Accounts After Demanding Proof of Citizenship
 

Yep. Schwab is the way to go. Also how the hell did you all get ally accounts? They told me that I had to be a citizen or a permanent resident to get their stupid account.
Also for those people talking about how their ally account reimburses their atm fees, I’m pretty sure it has a limit of 10 bucks. That’s like 4 withdrawals. Schwab has unlimited international and domestic atm fee reimbursements (although the international ones aren’t that important to Dreamers).

Now excuse me while I move my money from BoA.
