CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 10 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its commitment to provide more control, choice and clarity for its customers, Bank of America today announced that beginning this summer it will only authorize single debit card transactions at the point of sale if a customer has enough money in their account at the time.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050720/CLW086LOGO-b )
This change will help customers by reducing the likelihood they may inadvertently overdraw their account and thus eliminate unexpected overdraft fees on these transactions. Customers will still have the choice to link their checking account to another account through Overdraft Protection to cover these types of transactions.
"Our customers have been clear that they want to know if a purchase is going to overdraw their account," said Susan Faulkner, Deposits and Card Product executive. "Our solution is simple, clear and helps customers control their finances by reducing the possibility of over-extending themselves at the point of sale with a debit card."
Bank of America's solution provides:
Control
Today, the majority of customers who overdraw their account do so as a result of everyday debit card purchases where the bank is unable to alert them at the time that the purchase may cause an overdraft and result in a fee. The bank believes the best option is to help customers by reducing the likelihood they may inadvertently overdraw their accounts and thus eliminate often unexpected overdraft fees on these transactions.
Choice
Bank of America continues to provide choices for those instances when customers need additional flexibility in managing their finances:
Clarity
The bank is clearly spelling out for customers how these changes are enhancing the control they have asked for while providing options that allow them to choose the solution that best meets their needs.
Bank of America continues to offer tools and services that provide customers with more flexibility and control in managing their finances such as:
"We understand that the environment has changed, and we are changing with it," added Faulkner. "We will continue to make changes to our products, services and solutions that deliver more value to our customers by providing the clarity, control and choice they need to better manage their everyday finances."
These latest improvements are part of Bank of America's determination to help customers manage their everyday finances and bank in the ways that fit their life. To that end, Bank of America is:

Clarity
The bank is clearly spelling out for customers how these changes are enhancing the control they have asked for while providing options that allow them to choose the solution that best meets their needs.

- Electronic alerts when accounts reach a low balance or a customer overdraws. Beginning this summer, Bank of America will set these alerts as an automatic feature for our online banking customers who have a checking account.
- The ability for customers to request that Bank of America not authorize any purchases, payments or withdrawals unless the full transaction amount is available in their checking account or a linked overdraft protection account at that time.
"We understand that the environment has changed, and we are changing with it," added Faulkner. "We will continue to make changes to our products, services and solutions that deliver more value to our customers by providing the clarity, control and choice they need to better manage their everyday finances."

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Yardi Systems announced today that residential and commercial real estate management group Trinity Property Consultants LLC increased its marketing capabilities and improved services for its residents by adopting Yardi Portal™ and Yardi Payment Processing™ as part of its Yardi Voyager™ property management and accounting system.
Trinity can display real-time property marketing and unit availability with Portal, which integrates with property information in Voyager. The company also uses Portal to complete rapid online processing of resident applications, fee collection and credit checks.
Payment Processing offers residents the convenience of paying rent online through Portal. They can log in to the Trinity website and pay by credit card or ACH transfer, and view their ledgers and billing statements. Rents paid by check are scanned into electronic transactions with Yardi CHECKscan™. Check and online payments automatically apply to resident charges, and resident ledgers and the general ledger are updated simultaneously. Same-day electronic fund transfers maximize Trinity's cash flow and reduce trips to the bank.
"Letting our residents pay rent online means our property managers spend less time processing rent payments and entering data," said Charisse Weaver, Trinity's national training director. "Integrating our marketing, application and payment functions on one platform also makes it easy for us to interface with industry partners who generate credit reports and identify traffic sources, among other functions."
"As part of the ongoing support that Yardi offers its clients, we will help Trinity use the integration and automation enabled by these products to achieve several strategic goals, including attracting and retaining residents, improving operational efficiency, and increasing occupancy," said Terri Dowen, Yardi senior vice president of Sales.

We Energies has tentatively agreed to sell nearly 120 acres of undeveloped land in St. Francis to the City of St. Francis, company spokeswoman Irrisol Arce just told me.
The land includes 87 acres that Cardinal Stritch University had planned to buy for a second campus, Arce said. The university, which has its main campus in Glendale and Fox Point, later dropped those plans for a St. Francis campus, which would have included buying the former Cousins Center from the Milwaukee Archdiocese.
Also to be sold is around 30 acres, including land north of E. Howard Ave., between S. Lake Drive and S. Kinnickinnic Ave., Arce said. She declined to provide further details.
Mayor Al Richards told me the Common Council hasn't decided yet whether or not it will buy the land. He said most of the land, if bought by the city, would remain undeveloped. Some parcels, however, are buildable, he said.
Richards declined to comment on the rumored sale price of $800,000--which seems like a low price for such a large amount of land, even if most of it remains undeveloped. »Read Full Blog Post(12)
