Consumers Union
The Direct Express card looks like a bank debit card that allows you to access your Social Security and Supplemental Security Income.

The money is held in an account, and you can withdraw it or spend it by using the card. You will no longer need to worry about the security of your checks in the mail, or the cost and time it will take to cash in your checks. Also, the Department of Treasury has negotiated certain protections with Comerica, who issues the card. Among these protections are lower fees than those you may find with other prepaid cards. Questions for Recipients to Ask about Direct Express 1. How can I obtain a Direct Express card?

Comerica Bank
MyBankTracker
<p>Comerica Bank has a lengthy history dating to the pre-Civil War era and today, it's one of the largest banks in the country. It's headquartered in Dallas, Texas and has just under 600 banking locations in Texas, Michigan, Arizona, Florida and California.</p><p>The bank offers a complete list of products to manage your financial life, including:</p><ul> <li>Checking accounts</li> <li>Savings accounts</li> <li>Money market accounts</li> <li>CDs</li> <li>Credit cards</li> <li>Home loans</li> <li>Personal loans</li> <li>Student loans</li> <li>Auto and RV loans</li> <li>Investment accounts, including IRAs</li> <li>Life, property and vehicle insurance</li></ul><p>Checking account options range from basic to premium, with accounts designed to fit different lifestyle needs. Access Checking is the simplest option. This account may appeal to people who maintain a minimum daily balance of $1,000 or more. There's no monthly maintenance fee when you sign up for Comerica Web Banking access.</p><p>At the other end of the spectrum, you've got Comerica Platinum Circle Checking. This is an interest-bearing account that's suited to people who maintain a combined daily balance of $50,000 or more in their Comerica deposit accounts. This account comes with perks like monthly service fee waivers on selected savings and money market accounts, preferred rates on CDs, IRAs and money market accounts, rate discounts on home equity loans and personal loans, and a dedicated customer service line. In between these two accounts are Rich Rewards and Premier Checking. Both are interest-bearing but the minimum balance requirements and account perks are slightly different.</p><p>Savings options come in three varieties: Statement Savings, Money Market Investment Accounts and High Yield Money Market Investment Accounts. Statement Savings features a low monthly fee, which is waived when you maintain a $500 minimum daily balance. The Money Market Investment Account increases your interest earnings with a higher rate, while also offering check-writing abilities. The High Yield Money Market Investment Account offers tiered rates, but you'll need a $15,000 minimum daily balance to avoid the monthly service fee.</p><p>CDs come with a fixed or variable rate. Fixed rate CD terms extend from seven days to 10 years; variable rate CDs only have a one-year term. If you have a Comerica Bank checking account, you may be able to qualify for a relationship rate bonus on a fixed rate CD. An IRA CD is also available if you want to save for retirement with minimal risk and tax advantages. The minimum deposit for a traditional, Roth or self-employed IRA is $500.</p><p>Comerica simplifies account management with online and mobile banking. The bank's Web Bill Pay service has no monthly fee and includes an on-time payment guarantee, so you don't have to worry about bills being paid late. Other online and mobile banking features include person-to-person payments, mobile deposits and quick transfers between accounts.</p><p>One potential downside to know about banking with Comerica: customer service isn't available 24/7. If you need to speak with a customer service rep, you're limited to Monday through Friday only. Online banking customer service is also available for limited hours on Saturdays.</p>

How to Train an Abused Dog
by @ How to of the Day
Tue Mar 27 01:00:00 PDT 2018
Dogs who’ve suffered abuse may be withdrawn, depressed, inactive, and distrustful. While not all fearful and shy dogs have been abused, abuse can make the dog hesitant and nervous around humans. While it takes time to help a pup overcome its past, abused dogs can become loving pets if the right person comes into their life. If you’ve rescued an abused dog, then you’ll likely want to train it. Before you can train your dog, you need to take care of the dog’s health and safety so that it can learn to trust you. Then you will be able to housebreak your dog, teach it basic commands, and help it overcome its past.
