I opened my BoA account in Washington in 1998. I moved to New York in 2005. I spent the summer of 2006 in California. This has caused me no end of problems as the Washington accounts are in some sort of weird, siloed space that doesn’t integrate with their overall system. When you call BoA, they won’t recognize your WA account number as a valid account number- you have to make sure you say “oh, my account is in Washington state.” Depositing checks in NY to my WA state account, until a few months ago, had to be done by teller, and there was a 2 week delay on an important check when I moved to CA. How hard can this possibly be? They’ve been promising integration for two years now.
