In Sept 06 I opened 2 accounts at this bank. I did not need any service from them until 2 weeks ago when an overseas bank I was opening an account with asked me to provide a verificiation of my passport. This involved a photo copy being made and one of a list of a dozen people signing off that it was a true copy of the document photo copied.
The list of people they would accept included a bank official. So I went to AmSouth with my passport thinking that as a customer of theirs they would be pleased to provide this verification of a photo copy.
NO WAY! Even when I explained to a 'Supervisor' what was needed all I got was boiler plate that we don't notarize things, we don't certify passports - go to the post office they issue passport and have them do it.
Just pig stupid replies along this line. I told them that I would be back to close my accounts once some checks cleared and I have now closed my accounts (about 9k).
What a STUPID bunch of people they are at this bank.
I left and went to the office of an attorney on Jenks Ave and one of the staff there photo copied the passport and attested it was a true copy of the original document. They didn't charge me one cent for it and I never had any business with them in the past.
So in summary, my own bank tells me basically to F. Off as they won't do it, but an attorneys office who I had never had any business with did it for me at No Charge!
AmSouth is a worthless bunch of clowns who you should avoid, both as AmSouth and as Regions who has bought them out.
