I’m sympathetic, I really am, but it’s also surprising to me why people don’t have a backup credit card /bank account (shoot I think you can only buy gas at Costco with a Visa!) - I’m not saying you did anything wrong or shouldn’t be upset, but it’s the financial equivalent of only having a gmail account and then being screwed when some algorithm locks you out of your email. (Doesn’t make it ok, but it is a bit of a foreseeable situation).

It does feel like depository institutions should have to make your funds available the same day via wire/cashiers check/cash if they close your account in this manner.
