I currently bank with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( which is an online bank ). I wanted to cash a XXXX XXXX money order ( NOTE : This was a MONEY ORDER - NOT a check ) and yet USBank would not cash it for me because I did not have an account with them! I then took the money order to XXXX XXXX and had them tell me the same thing, " we can not cash a XXXX XXXX money order ''. Even after I explained to them that a Money Order is as good as cash, as it has to be purchased WITH CASH! What on earth is happening in our society when we can not go into a banking institution and have a MONEY ORDER cashed without having to be a depositor of that banking institution! This is highly unacceptable and absurd! I demand to know why I should be discriminated against simply because I do not bank with these XXXX banking institutions! And, because I do most of my banking online, my online bank allows me to make deposits through the US Bank ATM, however, I found out that they will hold these funds for up to 24 to 48 hours before making them available to me, which is highly inconvenient! And the reason that I no longer bank with USBank and XXXX XXXX is because I was getting " fee 'd '' to death if I did not keep a 'minimum ' balance in my savings accounts. I am tired of being held between a rock and a hard place by the banking institutions! I should not be required to have a bank account in order to get a MONEY ORDER cashed, as this is absurdly ridiculous!
