I'm unsure whether I was racially profiled or whether these tellers are unaware that bank counter checks typically do not include a check number. The teller conferred with two bankers behind the counter then presented my check to two more bankers (outside the window) for verification (a total of 4 people). The check was for $7,000. Would they have been as worried if I had been of a different race with the same amount or another race with a smaller amount? Why do I have to stand there and wonder why my check is bouncing around the bank? I had to walk to the back of the bank and ask if there was a problem after leaving the counter.
I'm familiar with the basics of authentication, but this went above and beyond. Keep in mind!!! I was depositing a check from my newly opened business account. Not a stranger; this is my account. & If you're wondering, yes, I did tell them it was a new account and that the check was one of two that I got from my Capital One banker. I'm considering closing this account because I'm incredibly dissatisfied.
If I had never walked to the back of the store, no one would have apologized for the delay. Instead, I had to prove myself by logging into my CapitalOne Mobile app and demonstrating that these are my funds and my account number matches the number on the check.
Not only that, but I go to the CapitalOne website and where one would order a check to show them that this is the "executive check," which matches the check I'm depositing in the bank today. They did not manage the situation professionally from the beginning and lacked basic banking knowledge. I strolled into Ridgewood as a young black woman, glad to be able to deposit a check for that amount into my savings account, but I went out feeling alienated, but I kept my cool despite their ignorance.
