My Bank and I Are Dating

So, here’s some schmeck for you. My bank and I are “dating” to see if it works out… Let me explain.

I just started a business and went to set up my first business account. The process of setting the account up took a bit longer than I expected (2 hours), and of course at the lunchtime hour, I was hurriedly rushed out saying that I would get a call back when all the information was verified.

So I get the phone call and am told that my account was approved, but all deposit checks are to be held for 30 days until we get to know each other better. I pressed the woman on the phone, “If I am approved by your bank, then why are my deposit checks being held?” The woman on the phone, nervously says, “Well it’s like we are dating and getting to know each other before we really commit.”

Um, I don’t know what bank I have mixed myself up in, but they are acting a bit on the prude side. I sure hope they put out when the 30 days are up.

remember those STD commercials (or posters?): when you sleep with someone, you’re also sleeping with everyone THEY’VE ever slept with. i wonder how that translates to Bank Dating… ;)

Teesher,If the rumors are true, they’ve been doing credit swaps with JP Morgan…kind of slutty if you ask me. I think they’re just giving you a teaser rate…
