Check Cashing Fees
I was written a check from a friend For money they owed me. Drove to the Arvest branch in Benton. Was told there’s a five dollar fee to cash the check written on that bank. I’m not doing five dollars less than what the check is written for. I’m do every single penny the check is written for. I encourage everyone to make sure your bank does not charge people fees to cash your checks. I complain to the manager. She was a total rude snotty b____!!! I will never do business with a bank that charges people to cash the checks I have written them. they should charge the account holder the fees if they’re going to charge fees. I bet that would change everybody’s tunes.
