Fifth Third

[jbird129]

I've been buying my dinar at a local 5/3 in Clearwater Fl. I don't have an account with them, but in the past they would just charge you an extra $10 fee to buy from them. This afternoon I went in to purchase some more and was told that I would have to open an account with them in order to buy any more.

When I questioned this new practice I was told that when and/or it hits that they want a little more access to the results, i.e. put the money in their bank where they can solicite you for the use of your funds for their financial products.

Any thoughts???????????

perhaps they assumed you had an account with them--- because when i first inquired about buying dinars from them they told me that i could'nt buy unless i opened an account with them.

[jbird129]

No, they always knew that I didn't have an account, in fact we joked about it. And that's why they charged me an extra fee.

This is some wild, spooky stuff...portends of a great event about to unfold....yes.

I just bought some this afternoon from 5th 3rd in Tampa, Fl and nothing was said to me. I don't have an account with them either.

ddeesch, which branch in Tampa, maybe I'll take a ride across the bay

I had the same experience Mariejose had Jbird. I opened a saving account and that's all. IMO, open the acct and start a relationship with the bank. When it comes time to cash is, you may be able to negotiate a much smaller spread fee (the fee they change to exchange). You don't have to buy any financial product from them, but you don't have to tell them that either.

The key message I have is : It's YOUR Money. Take the emotion off the table and do what's best for you. If you don't like the exchange rate - other banks will compete. If you don't like the fincial products (and I personal do not at 5th 3rd), then go else where. Take you time and make a good the best decision for you :)

Hey, y'all over there near the big DNR post? There's some good dove hunting all around there.

I just purchased dinar last week, and i was told you have to open an account. But there rate to by is sooooo much cheaper than anybody else that it made it worth it! Besides you don't loose any money.

I bought 4 million dong from one in Troy OH and was not asked to open an account ever.

Is there any US Banks that will open a dinar account? HSBC says no.

[kodiackmom]

Sounds like each branch sets their own rules... the 5/3 branch in my hometown will sell me an amount up to $2,000 USD value without an account.
