1) Not everyone lives near Walmart or has BB. Bank branches are everywhere

2) That method uses up BB's $5k per month cash load limit

3) BB has a $1k cash load daily limit, so it's $0.50 per $1k, comparable to $1.95 per $2.5k (although you used to be able to CA $9k+)

4) CA lets you off the hook for the fee, if you are shut down or don't plan to reload
