Went to my bank today to deposit $480 cash, the teller said I needed ID to show who I am........seriously! I've been banking there for 15+ years. Anyone else have this BS experience?

Chase Bank? I think they just instituted that policy. Another reason to bank at a credit union.

Yeah Modeler, it is Chase. I was a member of Washington Mutual before Chase bought it so never did change. I don't work at a company that has credit union privileges, is there one that is open to the general public?

Signed $24,000 in $100 savings bonds for a new Jimmy. My hand was sore for couple of days.

Credit Unions

First one I checked online

OnPoint - Portland Teachers

I used to be a member here:
Rivermark - was Safeway NorWest, then Safeway NorthWest
Your membership is established by opening a savings account with as little as $5.

Onpoint just requires that you purchase a share for $5 to join.

Chase----Checked with them to do a re-fi a few years ago. Their reply: "Chase does not do refi's
on manufactured homes--but we would be ALLOWED to continue making payments on our
current mortgage." We had a lot of stuff going on with Washington Mutual---down to one
account left at Chase, and it will be closed out in September.

How about, be skeptical/cynical/conspiracy theorist, and not trust those who get to decide what is "suspicious", and pay in cash.

I recently began paying for everything in Guitars. Small purchases are made with Ukuleles....

Good thinking. I'm going to start using bike parts.

Is your book, the same book that the FEDS use?

 

[RicInOR]

@MT - funny - my co-worker also pays in Guitars or for certain purchases Trombones.

My credit union requires ID, for all transactions.

 

[Miyamoto Musashi]

A lot of people buy and sell small things for cash to work their way up to big cash, just because they have a goal gun to buy. The abc boys should know this. Shame on them!

"Cash" can also be in the form of a check. The merchant avoids the cc processing fee and is not burdened with the liability of security in getting the stuff safely out of the store and into the bank. IRS doesn't pop a flag and everybody's happy.
Maybe that's what was meant in the above; what I picture is stacks of 100's. It can be a pain in the caboose.

Which credit union?

More and more of late I see folk converting their fungible goods into aluminum and a shopping cart.

I was going to pay cash for my snacks at ARCO but the line was so long I put the stuff back and just left empty handed.

Better to not eat snacks than have an FBI investigation opened up.
