I can't answer directly. But I can tell a story. A non-profit I'm involved with tried and failed to 
open a bank account at BofA. The bureaucratic rigmarole they put us through was intense. 2 of us 
officers had something like 10 different conversations with 2 bureaucrats at 2 of their locations. 
And their defense boiled down to a combination of "The Government" and "to protect 
our customers", including tangents about the Patriot Act and all sorts of nonsense. We finally 
went down the (metaphorical) street to US Bank and opened the account lickety split with no hassle 
at all.

What can you do about it? Maybe ditch BofA for a better organization. I'd 
recommend a (local) credit union. But a bank that gives a shit about local 
businesses (e.g. US Bank) would be a good alternative. If you need the ease of 
international banking, then maybe you're out of luck. But Trump had good success 
with Deutsche Bank. They seem to play fast and loose. >8^D

For a while everything was going well. then Bank of America 2 weeks ago put a 
hold on one check. and then a check I tried to deposit on monday.



What in the actual f***x.
Mom (dede) and owen (my dad) and me (gil) are beyond angry and infuriated at 
this development, Is their anything meengful I can do on my end? Why would they 
do that out of the blue? and is their anything to be done about it?


Or is it just a depressing case of banks do that because they can? I needed 
that money to get groceries FFS.
