What an odd thing for a bank to do, police how someone uses a memo line in a check. At least you got your revenge on them.

It's my understanding that Venmo will flag transactions with certain words in the memo.

"I Tried to Venmo $12.66 for 'ISIS' and the Government Was Pissed

It turns out the Treasury Department doesn't appreciate my sense of humor."

Ironic given how Softcard used to be called Isis.

I wouldn't be surprised if they had to file a suspicious activity report for every one of those checks.
