Money Problem..

Today I decided to take change I have collected and turn it into cash at the bank. I had a total of $279.79 altogether so when I did the transaction with the bank the told me I had only $125.43.
Now mind you I kept up to date with this bucket of change I recorded anything I put in or took out. So I told them about it and all they could tell me was to go to the banks main branch and tell their supervisor what happened.

Long story short I was humble throughout the whole ordeal. I just wanna know if you guys or gals could tell me is something there more I could have done? If the bank was wrong I could have possibly cheated out of $150.36.

Could it be that it was taken out as a service fee? It does sound like quite the task for the teller to count out $279.79 at once all the meanwhile there are other people that could have been served in the time it took for the bank employee to count your change. It could be the bank takes a certain percentage if you exceed a certain amount in change. Although I don't know if taking out more than 50% of your money is considered normal or not.

I have an account with the bank so I highly doubt there is a service fee. Since the bank has a counting machine for all the assortment of coins that could not be a factor towards them serving me and other customers.

Errors in your book keeping probably.

No it can't be that I have a checking account with them.

Sounds like an error on their end. Go into the bank, ask for a statement (or whatever you call that piece of paper where you check your recent transactions) and check it. If you were drawing money out, ATMs have the annoying habit of not showing your actual amount of money at the time of drawing it out. Or at least, they do here. Can never rely on them for an accurate sum, have to get a statement.

Do banks have this "last activity" system or something similar?

It's been a long time since I've taken change to a bank, but whenever I did, it was a 1:1 exchange. If you used one of those coin machines, they charge a 2-5% fee, so you'd be out about $14.

All I have to say is, what the fuck are you doing being humble? If you get cheated out of more than $20, you should be raging on them. I doubt you can get the money you lost at this point, banks are assholes. You have to put your change in rolls and take pictures, so you have proof of what you're giving them.

I use coin star... 9% service fee but I get cash.

The_Jesus might be right, unless you can prove them wrong, they would never admit they were wrong.

Might help to double check next time to assure yourself of certainty. Then deposit small amounts. Also banks charge transaction fee's, coin depositing machines too, doesn't matter if you have an account. But to be certain you should look into your rights as a member in that bank, as well, any fee's imposed, often times there can be hidden fee's.

Also, I'd recommend opening an account and transferring your funds into a Credit Union, to me, they are a lot better. I have 0 trust for banks either way. Ultimately this is a bias opinion so ya...

Unfortunately they may have ripped you out of a 150 (more or less) dollars, my condolences.

Ask if you can check the activities that happened with your account.

I'm pretty sure they have that on the books.
