I logged onto my old Countrywide money market account which is now at
BofA to transfer some money to my checking account at another bank.

There use to be no charge for transfers, now they charge $3 or $10 based
on the speed of the transfer. They also require that you sign up for
some sort of new service if you want to transfer amounts over a certain
amount (I think $1000) and you have to buy some sort of a electronic
device for $19.95 that authorizes each transfer or have text messages
sent to your cell phone.

I went to a local branch to close the money market account and get a
cashier's check and that took an hour and a lot of hassle as BofA has
not really integrated the Countrywide accounts into their systems. They
needed a signature card faxed to them from somewhere, then they said
they couldn't find the signature card, and they kept asking me for an
ATM card which I never got with the money market of course, and then
they started asking me all these strange questions about the account.
Finally they let me log into the account from a computer at the bank so
I could prove that it was my account, then they gave me the check. They
made me feel like some kind of criminal for wanting to get my own money.

Good riddance to BofA.
