- ravenstine 6y agoI wonder if the ability to send and receive money should be considered a right as we become cashless.
- gambiting 6y agoIt is in some places already. In the UK for instance a bank has to open a basic checking account for you when asked, to avoid situations where people without jobs or homeless cannot have a bank account(which is required for nearly everything else). There can be many restrictions placed on such account later on(no debit cards, no overdraft, no mobile banking etc), but it's practically impossible for a bank to close a basic checking account for someone.
- _trampeltier 6y agoI think in the EU, one bank has let you to open a basic account and give you a debit card. But as far I know, this is just for people, not companys. And in they ask you for a fee to use the account and in theorie there is no upper limit for the fee.
- ihadtosayit 6y agoBanks decide the color of dildos in webshops? I want to know more about this, I am not even doubting this seeing as banks and credit card companies are basically driving political censorship online these days.
