HuffPo writes: A branch of Bank of America in Albany, New York, refused to let a new bride deposit her wedding checks because she kept her maiden name, her husband Pete Iorizzo wrote in the Albany Times-Union, where he covers news and sports.
In his story, "Pete vs. Bank of America," Iorizzo explains that most of the checks he and his wife received from wedding guests were addressed to "Mr. and Mrs. Iorizzo." Because his wife chose to not to change her surname, he endorsed the checks himself and designated them "for deposit only" so she could drop by Bank of America and deposit them in the joint account they held there.
But bank tellers refused to deposit the checks due to his wife's different last name, even though she offered to present a copy of their marriage license, Iorizzo said.
