Same Experience As Doglover

I'm leaving Peoples too after having the exact same experience as doglover with a check from E-Trade. Guess they had never heard of them either. To make matters worse the teller accepted the check and then called me at home 2 hours later to explain they were doing me a favor by releasing $5,000 in 2 days but the other $15,000 would have a 10 day hold ! I have other checking accounts at other banks, where if gven the option at the time of deposit I would have taken the check to one of them. I asked someone at another branch about the check hold policy and was told it was discretionary so discretionary I guess they decide what to do after they take your check and you've left the building. 

I closed my business account with them when I tried to add a savings account to my existing business account and the same busy body teller said she couldn't find my business registration with the State so they would have to close all my accounts. The Bank manager was smart enough to find it when I called but the damage was done so I went to US Bank.
