Any updates on this thread? I am looking for a GPS tracker for my luggage, and I have an Android phone.

There are about 20 banks and credit unions in Kearney, Nebraska, now. For another reason i was i all of them this past fall. Farmers & Merchants is a ghost town compared to what it used to be---and so is Wells Fargo. However, some of the other banks are pretty busy. Farmers & Merchants...

Farmers & Merchants Bank....it is a bank chain in Nebraska headquartered out of Milford, Nebraska

More likely once the check clears to close the accounts, I will write a letter to the bank president of this branch bank and explain why I closed the account. I have access to their deposit information with comparison to other local banks, and they have been losing significant deposits in...

Oh, it occurred to me for a fleeting second, but I realized that whatever I did like that would be easily traced back to me. I still might write a letter to the bank president, who is located in another town, and explain why I am no longer a customer. T doubt he/she will do anything, but it...

I checked with yet another bank in town and they do not charge an IRA transfer fee. I closed out my account and started to close out the safe deposit box with the first bank. Even though I have six more months on the box rental, they would not prorate a return. So, I am keeping the box until...

The bank I am transferring my accounts to charges $25. And happy to get my business!

All the statement says is "Fee or Service Charge." As I wrote in the original statement, I closed an IRA and the amount transferred to TIAA. What they showed me yesterday is there a $50 fee for an IRA Transfer.

It has been four or five years since we opened the IRA account, and neither my wife nor I remember. However, since it is a federal requirement, I assume they did---and I cannot prove otherwise. They did show me a rate yesterday, but nothing that I signed that acknowledged the rate. So, the...

Yes, I weigh what I weighed in high school. I am in my mid-70s and lost about 35 pounds in the past three years (deliberately) via diet and exercise (who would have thought it). I feel better and most measurements, such as blood pressure and pulse are great. Now if I can just avoid getting...

Got a statement earlier this week from one of the banks where I have accounts and saw when I transferred about a little more than $2000 from them in an IRA to TIAA, the bank charged me $50. I transferred the amount because they were paying such a miniscule interest rate. So they had my money...

I ended up going with Allianz for a yearlong coverage. The total cost was $485. It covered some trip insurance (costing $419) and $66 for assistance, which was my main issue. The trip cancellation and trip interruption has only a maximum benefit of $2,000 each. More important there is...

What insurance company?

It is part of a package with a tour company. I am paying them to worry about the hotels, etc. Thanks much.

It might just evacuation insurance we need. Any companies good and any companies to avoid? Thanks
