In continuation of my reporting on my experience with the USAB account here is something that turned up: I wrote to my employer to change my direct deposit from Wells Fargo to USABancShares.com. The employer wrote back that I should check with my new bank to make sure that the direct deposits would be accepted. Many banks dont accept direct deposits, I was told and I said to myself that there was a good chance that this little itty bitty bank is probably one of those that does not offer direct deposit. SO I called home, got the USAB customer service number and called the bank. The call was answered after the first ring and the answer to my simple question was a very simple "YES WE DO". When I asked if I had anything to do at their end, the answer was "NO, let it just come". Bought a thousand more just for that. I still owe this board more information about the experience with BILL PAY!! Harry
