My world didn't crumble yet so I must be okay.
Guess what? I just tried to purchase a 22lr handgun online from 3 locally reputable retailers using my BoA credit card that has 0 balance and I was declined by the payment gateway each time. I used the correct billing info on file with BoA and I even tried to buy on multiple days at different times of day. All guns were in stock and not on backorder. I finally purchased my gun with a Chase card and no problems. I called BoA and of course they couldn't find anything wrong with my account and they said they had no evidence of me trying to purchase anything. Come to find out after speaking with several sales people working for the online gun retailers and they told me in a round about manner that the payment gateways are to blame and they label online firearm sales as "high risk" and BoA declines all high risk sales. When I asked what "high risk" means, the sales clerk laughingly remarked that it has something to do with anti 2nd amendment agenda and declined further comment. I hate to be a conspiracy guy, but it seems to me that BoA does not want to allow USA citizens their right to legally buy firearms online and pickup from a licensed shop owner. The left will allow legal pot and illegal immigration, but no, I can't pay for my 22lr pistol online with BoA card!
While my folks were on a cruise they asked me to get thier mail and deposit a couple of checks for them. I walked in to the local branch to deposit the checks for them. Guess what? I wasn't allowed to deposit them without opening an account. Even talked to the Mgr. I feel sorry for the employees but they should find greener pastures and leave the corporate shills to fend for themselves.
Honestly anyone still using BOA as their bank, after all the crap they pulled during the 2005-2008 recession, deserves all that BOA shoves down their throat, but this is not true.
