This Bank will Rob you of money. They will change the account structure without contacting you and deduct your money stating the account has changed. Try calliing them and you get the run-around. When you finally get someone to help you, then you get the bad news....

What can you do about it now, there is no local branch to go visit... Your money gone. I suggest you avoid this money trapp all together. Easy to get your money hard as heck to get it out.
