It was refused.

I was told they no longer take a military ID card as a valid Government issued ID card. A State of Florida driver's license, which I have been getting by mail for decades, was OK, but not a retired military ID card or any other military ID.

I was insulted. I have thought about it for a few days and I am still insulted by their policy. Am I being too sensitive? Or possibly was their answer of it being company policy wrong and there is some security issue behind it all that I have not heard about?

I would bet (hope) the answer that it was a company policy is wrong. What can fit the description of a Government issued ID card than a military ID? If we don't trust IDs issued by the US Government then what IDs can we trust?

I believe I have used my Villages ID in a Citizens First Bank.

You write that you were making a deposit? Do we need our accounts so secure that no one can sneak money INTO them??
