I couldn't agree with you more! However, the best answer I have ever
gotten is that they can put me in touch with a tech who will walk me
through the 80 steps (that isn't a misprint. They said 80!) just to see
IF I can do what I had been doing with another bank for years.
Calling got me that response. Email is still ongoing. In fact the first
email about uploading payments got me a long detailed explanation on how
to download transactions! Duh.
I will probably continue to fight with them, but I can see moving my
account again just around the corner.
