Carried account balance of $10k - $50k. ACH deposits into Santander from other banks. In NJ.

Got a friendly call from a local branch asking about MO activity. Explained that this was part of my business. They suggested opening a business acct instead. The two weeks later got the shutdown letter from Boston.

Any suggestions for a new bank or CU?

You should take them up on that biz account offer. Go to the branch, look him straight in the face and make them commit to an account where they'll be ok with MOs and not shut you down.

Otherwise, WF is pretty good.
