Behind the times and too expensive

There is no reason to charge hard working Americans the fees you charge to transfer MY money. You should have direct deposit to the customer bank. You have to charge two fees, one if you want your money instantly to my account at your institution, which should be against the law. Then another fee to transfer to my external account where I have been a member for 40 + years. Then have the odacity and state your customer friendly, yeah right tell some other Idiots that story
