Put simply if you read your contract, disclosure agreement, or TOS then you might come to understand that the only evil is your own ignorance. Someone said on another thread that finances are like religion. I disagree with that, but irregardless if that is true then why would you sell your soul to the devil if you didn't agree with his contract? Or better yet why would you sign it without reading it first. Doing that your just volunteering your soul for eternal damnation - rhetorically speaking. Now apply that logic torwards your contract with whomever you do business with and suddenly you'll find the only evil is ignorance. Don't wait minutes, hours, days, months, or years just end up thinking to yourself "If only I knew then what I know now!" Know it now!!! It's simple read first then sign - if you can handle the terms sign up. Banks are a business, and they are their to make money with your money. They do that either through fee generation, investments, finance charges on loans, etc... Like I tell customers who aren't satisfied with their bank accounts or credit cards. All banks do business in similar ways, you just have to find the quirk that works. And if you have trouble understanding your contract, disclosure agreement, or TOS - then call customer service, operators are standing by. We don't go through 8 weeks of training just to give you your available balance, or argue about fees. We are also educators who help those that didn't read their disclosure - who think that we are evil because they didn't. If you bank or do business by assumption (base word for assumption being assume) then you are not only making an "ass" out of "u" but also out of "me" = assume. And I much prefer the role of angel over servant of evil. So perform a personal exorcism if necessary, redefine your thinking if your inviting evil into your life in the form of ignorance and welcome knowledge and you'll find you have more friends than enemies.
