Umm, my tiny local bank did that for me a few months ago. I had
managed to
deposit a large personal check into my business account and a small
business
check into my personal account. So when there wasn't enough money in
the
personal account to pay an automatically drafted monthly bill they
called me
up and asked me what I wanted to do. I moved money from my business to
my
personal account using online banking while I was on the phone and the
nice
young man was able to confirm payment of the bill as well as the
transfer of
money. Best part? I didn't have to leave the house and I didn't get
charged
a fee. A big bank wouldn't do that, I'm sure, but the local bank has
fantastic customer service.
