Bank Of America Refuses To Cash Armless Man's Check

http://www.wftv.com/irresistible/20682762/detail.html

TAMPA, Fla. -- A Florida man born without arms says a Tampa-area bank would not let him cash a check because he could not provide a thumbprint.

Steve Valdez didn't have an account at a Bank of America location in downtown Tampa, where he tried to cash a check from his wife last week. However, Valdez has prosthetic arms and is unable to provide a thumbprint. He says he presented two forms of identification but was still denied.

He says a bank manager told him that he could either come back to the bank with his wife or open an account himself.

Bank of America spokeswoman Nicole Nastacie says the bank has apologized to Valdez. Nastacie says the bank should have "offered alternative requirements if an individual is not able to give a thumbprint."
