    This bank operates in a weird way. A month and a half after I opened my account, they closed it without notice because I made a ACH transaction that made my balance zero (not overdraft). This was weird because the account was a ‘no minimum balance account’, and so a zero balance should be okay. I called them and explained that I never asked for a closure. So they reopened it, but after a week I get a call stating that they are closing it again because they don’t see any big dollar transactions in the 1.5 months that it was open and apparently because I was ‘verbal’ on the phone when I had complained about my account being closed without notice. Very weird. Perhaps they want only rich customers. Well, I am doing okay with a 5 figure salary, its just that I decided to wait before entrusting my money to them. So they probably assumed that I am broke. Another possibility is that they might be racist — looking for just white customers. I am saying this because the vice president seemed to habitually mispronounce and fumble my name a number of times without attempting to actually give it a try to read it right. Overall, a suspect bank, with a suspect management. Stay away.
