I’m an American that had to work in Israel for a couple of years. Israeli banking is weird. For example I was often asked by my banker (Hapoalim) to hand write instructions/permission to do something on a piece of paper, take a picture of it with my phone, and text it to him. It’s hard to imagine a salty Chase Bank rep back home asking for this. Israel is this strange combination of first world and third world improvisational organized chaos mentality.
