I recently opened a foreign currency account at JPMorgan Chase. The account is held in USD.

Since then, I’ve deposited about $200 and successfully made three online purchases using my Intel card.

My balance was sitting at around $35. Today, I tried to make another purchase for $85, so I headed down to the branch with $133 (~$80) in cash, intending to deposit it into the account so I could cover the cost.

After I deposited those $133, I came home, only to find the transaction wouldn't go through. I kept getting an error message—even though this card usually works fine on this specific site—despite the fact that I should have had over $100 in the account. At least, that's what I thought, because

When I checked my receipt, which was marked as a "currency sale," I realized that from my $133, I actually ended up buying 55€. That wasn't my intention at all.

So now, on this account which is supposed to be in dollars, I’m holding $35 and 55€. It seems because I didn't explicitly demand dollars instead of euros, the teller didn't ask for clarification and just converted my USD into euros before depositing them into my dollar account.

Is this why my purchase is being declined? Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I'm planning to head back to JPMorgan Chase tomorrow...

(In the past, my deposit slips always specified I was buying dollars and everything went smoothly. Clearly, the teller today got mixed up; everyone else has always converted my funds into dollars without issue.)

I hope that makes sense. Waiting for your thoughts. 🙂

From what I understand, if you have access to their online banking, you can probably fix this right from your phone without having to drive back to the branch. You might lose a couple of bucks on the conversion from euros back to dollars, but it's much easier.

Has anyone here tried using a JPMorgan Chase or a Bank of America card with Moneybookers? I'm mainly wondering how the withdrawal process works when you're trying to move funds from Moneybookers into a foreign currency account.

Between JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, which one would you guys suggest I go with?

I honestly feel like parodies are kind of a waste of time, especially since it seems like every single movie released these days already has its own version out there. Plus, if you haven't actually sat down to watch the original film the parody is poking fun at, the whole experience just ends up feeling like a total loss of time.

If I were to answer my own question:

the minimum technical requirements.

Hey there, I really hope this ends up being helpful to someone down the road!

Hey everyone,

I was hoping I could pick your brains on something, so if anyone has a moment to weigh in, I’d really appreciate it:

Here’s the deal: I run a small business, and we're looking to expand into baking and food production specifically for delivery services—we won't have a storefront or anything, just a setup for making products and getting them sent out. We're planning to set up this production space right within my current property, though it would be its own dedicated area of about 200 square feet.

Does anyone happen to know what the specific technical requirements or building codes are for a kitchen space like that?

Thanks so much!
