StashTreasure Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 10/25/2014 2:44 pm Ok so yesterday I went to my pickup bank, the local BB&T, and asked the teller for $25 in pennies plus 50 in dimes. Which is a very big request for me since I usually only search 30 at the most of any denomination. The teller then tells me "You know I have to charge you a fee for exchanges right?" I then question it and learn there was a 5 dollar fee! This is the first time this has every happened to me in the years I been at this bank. So I have a dilemma, do I continue using a bank where the tellers know me and pay a fee to pickup rolls and boxes or try to find another pickup bank? I have a regional bank in the same city with 3 branches. So has anyone else had this problem at their bank? Any suggestions on what to ask my new bank if I switch when signing up?

socceraustin23 Valued Member United States 433 Posts	Posted 10/25/2014 6:37 pm I would say find a different bank there are plenty out there that do coin orders with no fees Report this Post to the Staff
berto Pillar of the Community United States 840 Posts	Posted 10/25/2014 11:46 pm Greedy bank, find a new one w/o fees for coin orders. I get irritated by banks that charge fees for small orders. Large orders I could understand a reasonable fee, but charging a fee of any kind to order a couple boxes a week is simply unreasonable. Report this Post to the Staff

Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 10/26/2014 07:06 am I get my boxes from BB&T and have never been questioned nor charged a fee. I has been several weeks since my last box though so I am going to have to test this next week. Report this Post to the Staff

StashTreasure Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 10/26/2014 6:18 pm maybee it was getting a box of pennies that required the fee? Perhaps I should ask for just rolls. Report this Post to the Staff
