How would you define reasonable notice used in the following terms and conditions disclosure? We may also close this account at any time upon reasonable notice to you and tender of the account balance personally or by mail. Reasonable notice depends on the circumstances, and in some cases such as when we cannot verify your identity or we suspect fraud, it might be reasonable for us to give you notice after the change or account closure becomes effective.

It was recently brought to my attention some of our tellers have been assisting a commercial customer by carrying out bulk coin to the customer's car on change order days. Although I commend the tellers for going the extra mile, I view this as a security and liability risk. Is this gesture a common and acceptable practice?

I'm not sure what this falls under, but I have a question about safe deposit boxes. I have always been told that if you have a safe deposit box joint with someone else and you wanted to remove their name from the box then you could do so. Is this not something you can do? I know you cannot remove a joint owner from a checking, savings, etc.

A client wishes to open a joint account and designate 3 POD's; 2 are "Trust Under Agreements" and the 3rd is an actual person. First, I don't see the 2 beneficiaries as conforming to the FDIC definition of a beneficiary. I have concerns with that. Furthermore, is it permissible and what are the ramifications in allowing it? Or should this be handled in a bank with trust services?
