I was a bank teller in college. This is beyond racist. When someone comes in with a large check to cash or deposit it is typically put on an automatic hold. The funds are verified during that holding time. The bank employees were being the evil racists they are. I hope she gets what she is suing for plus additional punitive damages.

This happened to me (a black woman) this week in Texas. My check was rejected for days for mobile deposit. Then blocked for further attempts for mobile deposit with the message that the "security certificate" was not valid. When I called 3 days into rejection, I was told that I didnt hsve enough money in my account to cover the check if it was not valid. I was told to go into bank where the branch had the right "to refuse" to deposit it. So I dont know why they wanted me in branch. I told the CSR it was discrimination to refuse to accept my mobile deposit and tell me to go into bank. This meant that I dont have the mobile deposit service available to other customers. After the call, the bank took one of my attempted mobile deposits and approved it and just held money. So my bills are late and I have been assessed fees I couldnt afford to pay.

[@mrchrislatino]

@@brianmcgeeserrano4393 That might be true and I get your point but it really boils down to individual responsibility. I wasn't raised by colonizers or conquistadors. I grew up with a racist father and a mother that didn't know she was racist. I was 10 when I met and hung out with a black kid for the 1st time at the peak of civil rights in 1968. I remember a friend coming over after school and my mother saying "you didn't say he was colored", she thought I was being modern, I thought I had a fun friend to play with. For many years I was in the army and mixed with all kinds of people from all over the country. My need to 'not hate' is my driving force toward equality for any reason.

[@BerserkPublishing]

I'm a retired IT manager from a large bank. The first questions were valid. Because of money laundering laws questions like what do you do, where is the check from, and other personal informamation is required. However, that information is to help the teller investigate if money is possibly illegal, not whether or not a check is fake. As mentioned in the video, the teller could have called the issuing bank or business. Additionally, I can tell you as a white dude, any checks over a couple hundred dollars are deposited on a hold until they are validated and cleared by the bank they come from. So, their argument that they won't even try to deposit it because they think it is fake is total BS. I worked in a few industries in my IT career, and believe me, the banking industry is among the worst. Insurance companies are probably the only places that treat people worse than banks. Also, the bigger the banks, the worse the experience. Local credit unions are normally a better place to bank, if you can get hooked into one.

[@funnyfarm5555]

And then not all credit unions are good. We left one after banking there for years after they screwed up our account and said it was our fault. I told them that if they do not fix it; my wife and I are leaving their credit union and so will many members of my family. I did not tell them this, but I worked for a very large business and had face to face contact with many people each day and I can tell people I know not to bank there. They finally fixed the issue but with no real apology so we left anyway and love the credit union we are at now for over 20 years.

This isn't a policy of Chase. That was those individualis. I used to work for Chase. I think it was more about her looking young who happened to be Black and that weave is torn. Oh yes, Black had something to do with it because my Aunt lives in Houston and they have quite a few Black Doctors in that area and successful Black People there. Whens l go to Houston, I stay with her sometimes and that area is filled with successful Black People. They were just messing with her and if the check was a good, what difference does it make she wasn't trying to cash it. She was trying to deposit it and even if she were ghetto, these young people have money. They all are on the internet making money and small businesses. My niece is a hair stylist and she is only 22 years old and she did a wedding and got paid $8,000 for doing the hair. So these tellers were probably just jealous because black people were not supposed to be making that type of money BUT there's no need to withdraw your money out of Chase because this is not a policy of theirs. I have worked there and they have black people in upper management everywhere in the state.

Capitalism needs hierarchical structures to survive, to get rid of racism we need to get rid of those hierarchical structures that have put black people (both African and indigenous Australian or any other indigenous population in the world) at the bottom of those structures. Anti-racism=anti-capitalism. Some of you may not like to hear this but that's the way it is.

I was a Bank Fraud Investigator for the then Wachovia Bank, Charlotte, NC and also for JP Morgan/Chase, Houston, TX.. It is true that whenver a check is presented for $10,000 or more, bank personell are trained and directed to be suspicious of those amounts and the check be placed on hold via the verification process. Mr. Martin you are correct, they could have contacted the fraud diivision, placed an initial hold on the check, and/or verified the check through the routing number and account number. Now as an employee of Chase I was treated horribly by my employments superiors because I complained and commented on how they handled customers, especially people of color; it was unfair. As I did my job I observed so many inconsistencies when it came to people of color. I was terminated by Chase and they stated that my performance was lackluster. This was in 2011.

Why on earth would they deny the deposit of the check? Worst case you call and verify with the employer that the check is real because of the amount. Most banks only a couple hundred dollars of a check is initially available until the check clears which would limit their liability. Sounds like a bunch of corrupt idiots on a power trip.

My husband and I did excellent business with Chase for 25 years-our business accounts and personal accounts were all with them. We paid EVERY loan off early, credit was stellar and our standing with them (and our other creditors) was impeccable. We applied for a business loan; they were willing to give us only 50,000. Our loyalty to them, our records, our credit history meant nothing to them...nothing. 50k was a SLAP in the face. I told them as much and closed every single account we had as well as paid off our mortgages. They didn't even flinch. We've been doing great business with M&T for YEARS now :). CHASE can SUCK it as far as we're concerned.

This is so different than my experience. I am Asian (so at 28 I still looked like a punk kid) and a doctor too. When I first became a doctor, my azz was broke as fk 😂!!! I went into the bank dressed in raggedy holy tshirt and sweat pants. The workers looked at me like I was was a scrub. I went to deposit a $10,000 Sign on check just like her and to open a savings account when my checking account had like $100 in there 😂!!! They asked me what I did for a living and I told them I was a recent graduate and a new doctor. All of a sudden they start calling me sir 😂!!!! Their demeanor changed completely. Suddenly I am someone to them 😂!!!! They offered credit cards and housing loan info 😂!!! Black folks are discriminated on so bad…

This same incident happened to someone we gave money to. She had an account at Citibank, she took the check to deposit it, they gave her a real hard time just to deposit the check. She had them call us, we gave them information about the check. Prior to them calling us, they told her that the check was fraudulent, and did not give the check back to her, that’s when she had one of the officers call us. We told them why we gave the check to her, she was about to loose her apartment and needed to take care of other bills. We were not the only ones that were helping her. I told them that I was going to report them. I am assuming, since she did not have money in her account, and all of a sudden she comes in with a check, which was not a huge amount, but since she was a black women, and it was a personal check, they immediately profiled her. I was extremely upset and did not appreciate the bank calling the check we sent fraudulent. Like you mentioned, there was a rounding number, our name, address, which they could have used to contact our bank on it. I called our bank to inform them of what was going on and asked them if they had received a call concerning our check being reported as fraudulent, they told me no, that they had not received no such report of a check being reported as fraudulent. My bank kept me on the line, and did some checking, and of course they asked me several security questions, to make sure I was who I said I was. After we hung up with our bank, we called Citibank back to inform them that they “LIED”. They informed us that they were looking further into the matter. We received a call from the sister later that day, informing us that they had deposited the check. They’re a bank, all they needed to do was contact the bank that the check was drawn on. If these banking institutions don’t want our money, I would like to see more banks owned by people of color open up. Hopefully, that will solve that issue!
