Signs You Have Bankitis

Do You Have Bankitis?

Do you feel like your financial institution is more of a headache than a help? You might be suffering from Bankitis. This common condition occurs when you bank with a for-profit financial institution that prioritizes profits over people. Let’s explore the symptoms and the cure.

Symptoms of Bankitis

  • Headaches from High Loan Rates
    Are you constantly stressing over loan payments because your interest rates are sky-high?
  • Sick to Your Stomach About Your Credit Score
    Does it feel like your bank sees your low credit score as a barrier, not an opportunity to help you rebuild?
  • Blurry Vision Searching for Surcharge-Free ATMs
    Do you waste time and energy trying to avoid fees at ATMs that should be convenient and accessible?
  • Anxiety Over Low Certificate Rates
    Are your savings growing at a snail’s pace with underwhelming rates on CDs and savings accounts?

If these symptoms sound familiar, you may have Bankitis.

The Root Cause of Bankitis

Bankitis stems from banking with a for-profit financial institution that puts its board of directors and stockholders first. This profit-driven approach often leaves customers dealing with poor service, high fees, and a lack of personalized care.

  • Have you ever called customer service only to be connected to someone you couldn’t understand?
  • Have you visited your bank, only to find it closed when you needed it most?
  • Have you waited in line forever just to get simple transactions done?

These are telltale signs that your bank is working against you, not for you.
