It took a GENUINE moron to come up with the idea that a bank... a large bank with billions on deposit, should actually CHARGE people for their cash.
First of all, that word came out yesterday from the massive Bank of New York Mellon.
If I HAD large deposits in that bank, I'd have pulled every dime by close of business.
CHARGING people to save their money? In a bank?
With Obama in charge, up truly is down.
New Fee to Bank Cash
By LIZ RAPPAPORT
Bank of New York Mellon Corp. on Thursday took the extraordinary step of telling large clients it will charge them to hold cash.
Bank of New York Mellon is preparing to charge some large depositors to hold their cash, in the latest sign of the worries roiling global markets. Liz Rappaport has details.
The unusual move means some U.S. depositors will have to pay to keep big chunks of money in a bank, marking a stark new phase of the long-running global financial crisis.
The shift is also emblematic of the strains plaguing the U.S. economy. Fearful corporations and investors have been socking away cash in their bank accounts rather than put it into even the safest investments.
The giant bank, which specializes in handling funds for financial institutions and corporations, will begin assessing a fee next week on customers that have been flooding the bank with dollars, Bank of New York told clients in a note reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
