US Bank
Another average horrible bank

US Bank chooses to notify bank members by mail instead of email or both. I am a college student and at the beginning of last December I accidently wrote a check for rent from the wrong checking account. After I went home for Christmas, I went abroad to study in Germany. When I returned to College at the end of January I found a pile of letters informing me of my mistake and telling me I owed the bank approximately $650.00. I have since appealed the charge and received about 50% of my money back. Now the mistake has only cost me $130. I had the money available and if I had been emailed, this charge would be around $27 instead of $130. I asked a bank representative why they send letters instead of emails and was told that the Bank does not have the resources to send everyone an email. I assume then that US Bank is under the impression letters are cheaper then emails.in addition to being less environmentally friendly the letter system is unethical and exploitive? US Bank chooses to ethically and environmentally irresponsible by notifying it's members of overdraft fews via snail mail instead of via email?
