I almost had a similar problem at my credit union. The teller wanted to put a hold on the checks I was depositing because one of them was a Google check. I have been using this credit union for seven years and everyone except for this teller (who was new to the branch we use) knew me and my wife by name. We even have had two car loans through the credit union and had been depositing Google checks since 2003.

Fortunately the branch manager came out, straighten everything up and removed the hold from my checks. I then explained to the teller how AdSense works.

I have since switched over to EFT with Google to avoid this problem in the future. The teller still gives me troubles about one of the other checks I get every month and the easiest way to deal with this is to just go to a different teller.

I'm glad the teller is trying to be diligent, but she needs to lighten up a little and look at the big picture that we have been using the same branch for seven years, have had two car loans with them and direct deposit most of our funds. We use a credit union because we want a personal relationship with the caretakers of our money and don't want all the hassles of a big bank that is only looking at their bottom line.
