> Why the hell do banks still close on Sundays??? I'm confused. Does your ATM stop working on Sundays? Does your home banking stop working on Sundays? The closest branch of my bank is 3000 miles away. The last time I stepped inside a branch was probably 4 or 5 years ago. I call them on the phone a couple times a year. The fact that they aren't "open" on Sundays is a complete non-issue for me.

My online banking really does close between 2 and 6. No joke. But I don't want a web 2.0 bank, I want a bank as boring as you can get it, one that only hires people with absolutely no life, with a plain boring website. In want that because they are not a new and exciting thing, they are a place that should only ever do one thing: take my money, lend it extremly reliable people and give me an interest in the return.

  To be clear, I don't have a "web 2.0" bank. The only thing non-traditional about my "bank" is that they are actually a credit union. However, they are able to do pretty much everything I need either online, over the phone, or via mail.

> Does your ATM stop working on Sundays? Actually, mine does (in Japan). I have no internet banking, although I think I could have it set up. For most banks it's possible to use an ATM at a convenience store after hours, but you have to pay extra fees on nights and weekends...

  Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Like having a car with no air that only travels as fast as you walk.

My online banking doesn't let me do anything except transfer money between accounts.

  Get a better bank? My online banking allows me to: * transfer money between my accounts (one-time or repeating) * bill pay (electronic or physical check, one-time or repeating) * request a wire transfer * request an electronic transfer to an account of mine at another financial institution * apply for a loan * open a new "club" savings account * and more, but that's about all I recall ever making use of
