I wanted to let you know that I closed my account with fifth third and they were so rude when I did. They didn't ask why, could care less, just gave me what I had in my account and showed me the door. I have joined a smaller bank that is based here in Michigan, Macatawa, and they are the NICEST people (yes, people), in the banking industry. They help on a personal level and they make me feel valued. I'm grateful that they are here.

Hi, I read your post, and imediately knew it sounded familiar. fifth third bank is ripping people off, yes, but the best way to deal with this situation is to find a bank that does not: 1. Limit deposits to $100. 2. Deposit the largest item in a stack of withdrawals on purpose (so that all the smaller items will bounce as well). I have found several local banks in my town that do not use these predatory business practices. I'm sure there are probably a few in your area that still bank the "nice" way as well. Keep your chin up, call around to your local banks, and see which ones do not implement these policies. That's where you (and your money) want to be. Good luck.
