They don't hold checks and "order" them by amount and then "figure out" the most profitable way to post them. Give me a break.Actually, they do. I worked part time at Bank of America for 3 months forsome extra cash. Banks electronically batch process checks and other debits.Bank of America's policy is to process the larger checks first (they wereactually sued over this.. and since the "cite master" of this group _will_ask: http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/chk/19991110.asp). To quote a portionof the site:"The suit arose over an increasingly common banking practice -- processingthe biggest checks first. Legally, banks can process checks in any orderthey want -- first in, first out; check number sequence; smallest tolargest, or, like NationsBank, largest to smallest."(BTW- NationsBank was bought out by Bank Of America...and BOA still usesthis practice)Their reasoning was that the largest checks are most important so theyprocessed them first as the highest possible balance would be available. Ofcourse, that was what they said publicly. We all know this means that theythen get more checks to bounce and at $30 a pop... it's millions in revenue.I hope you got SOME of your "facts" correct... Bank of America wasbought out by NationsBank, who chose to use the Bank of America namefor the overall conglomerate. Best evidence of that is the currentlocation of their world headquarters. Hint: It's not in SanFrancisco any more.
