What country do you live in?
Here in the UK, the only time I've needed to step into a bank in the last 10 years is to have a meeting about my mortgage. Our online banking services are so good there's literally no reason to have brick-and-mortor banks for day-to-day tasks.
For me, not having to travel to a bank and wait in a queue to do basic tasks such as transferring money is such an advantage.
- robthebrew 6y agoWhy then the huge queues on certain days? It could be luddites asking to withdraw their pension payments, or of course it could be business owners needing to deposit cash takings, or getting till floats for the day's trading. While I personally am in the same position as you, I feel that banks are listening to this kind of comment and shutting up physical stores.
- Macha 6y agoAlso on the flip side, our in person banking services are rather poor. I dread when there's something I need in person in the bank, because the branch only opens 10-4 M-F with a large break for lunch, meaning I need to take off work time to do it, and it's full of people who somehow apparently still manage to do their banking primarily in branch despite that.
