    Any bank people here?

    The end of 2011, hubby went to the bank and one of the bankers asked hubby to have me call her because she needs a 9K loan. I called thinking it was a joke. She was serious. The next time I went to the bank I asked her what she needed it for and she said to pay bills(loans). She said she has no collateral to put up.

    I am a bit miffed by this. I have never heard of a banker asking its customers for loans.

    I recently came into a small bit of money when my Mom died. Not a fortune but alot to me. This banker knows this. Why would I ever give an acquaintance $9000?

    How should I approach this?

    WTH?? She asked YOU for a loan? (or hinted to it)

    I'd complain to the bank manager!! How would she even know this, if she hadn't been looking at your statements/records!

    I'd be furious! She had no right to ask you that. How rude

    I'd also be changing banks!

    Say HE!! NO!
    Sorry for her luck, we all have bills to pay, guess she should've budgeted. I'd give her the number of the local Pawn Broker.

    You need to immediately contact the branch manager or a branch manager at another location. She needs to be investigated by the bank and terminated. She should NOT have access to anyone's money. That is so wrong it is not even funny.

    She works for a bank... how could she possibly NOT have access to see ppls accounts? But I would definitely call someone... anyone over her head... that is just wrong. Maybe she assumes cause she sees yall a lot that yall are more than acquaintances. I would have gone straight to the manager the day she broached the subject w/ me. That is just wrong!

    I agree with everyone else report her to the branch manager. She probably knows you inherited money because of you doing transaction on your account by seeing an increase in your money but for her to ask you to borrow money is plain wrong.

    I meant that she should NOT have access to anyone's account and should NOT be working at a bank. There have been more than one story on the news about "trusted" bank employees stealing from bank patrons. What would stop this woman? Nothing if they are not made aware of her actions.

    Extremely unprofessional and she should be reported. I wouldn't want her anywhere near my money!

    K, on that we can agree.

    I'd be afraid of her having access to your bank account. She might decide to help herself. I think I'd say something to the bank about it.

    First I would be changing banks ASAP...Then going to upper managment and reporting this person...When they get fired they will have real money issues...but not your problem..

    We did around here have an issue with a teller getting CC in elderly customers names--He had the cards sent to the bank--he got the mail for the bank daily-- he then was swipping the cards and stealing small amounts of money from many customers...
    Let my haters be my motivators!
