I'm interested in some examples of the differences. One thing that struck me when I lived in Japan was how easy it was to set up automatic payment of things like rent and utilities and I thought, wow the US needs these things (I also thought it was cool how I could deposit cash and the atm would count it and update my passbook and how there were signs saying please don't take out more than 100 bills at a time) but all that is here now and I find US banking rather non-sucking overall.
