Bank Of America Speakers

Today we had some guest speakers from Bank Of America that informed us about their bank. their names were Josue Bonilla and Gabriel Lemus. They talked about a student account and how it works. they told us that we would not get charged for things in our account and that its our own personal account and that we do not need our parents permission for it. They also talked making a checking and saving accounts. They talked a little bit about how we could get some loans for college and how the payments for them work. They informed us about all they fee's they charge and what percentages the use and what percent we wound get. They told us that we get money back for opening an new account. They told us that we could make payments on line for free because of a student account and that we could have this student account for five years. They gave us a lot of good information that is useful for starting a bank account.They also gave us their card just in case we had more questions, and we could go in and talk to them about other concerns about banks. This was a good learning experience for all of us and I am thankful that they took time out to give us a talk about their bank.

Bank of America guest speakers

We had guest speakers from Bank of America, they were very professional. They came in suits and answered all of are bank related questions, they were all really nice and informative. I learned about checking and saving accounts, and just how helpful it is knowing about bank accounts so that in the future you know your way around and aren't confused or lost. They passed out frisbees, posters, their business cards, and CD holders. I was curious to find out about fees to check out money out of your savings account more then 3 times a month. They explained how we could open an account and that legally nobody else could have access to it except the account holder. This was a good learning experience, that will be needed in the future. I thought that today was a very progressive day.

Bank of America Guest speakers

Today guest speakers from Bank of America came to speak about Bank accounting. They taught us about the importance of having a bank account, collge loans and the different types of accounts. With saving accounts you can only take money 3 times a month, but with a checking account you can put in and take money out whenever you want. If you were to take money out of the account that you didn't put in, they would charge a fee. So if i took $2 extra, i would have to pay the $2 and $35 fine for each time I made a transaction. They also gave us packets also, so we could learn more about banking. I'm glad they came, because now I have more information about banking.
