You don't need live support to run a website, you can experience this on most websites that have live support available if you go to their site at 1am local.
- mbreese 4y agoNo, but the signal is, “when the website is up, we’re here”. I can’t say I’d call this a smart move, but if they still have enough customers to make it worthwhile, I can’t say it’s a bad move. Now, if they can’t get customers or can’t grow because of this, the market will tell them it’s a bad idea. It’s definitely sub-optimal, from a growth point of view. But so long as it works for them and their customers, why should I care? Are they the only bank for a region? Or is using them required for some purpose?
- jackson1442 4y agoI fail to see how that’s a useful signal. The IRS does this on their site to get an EIN[0]. I don’t know why, but it’s bad UX and restricts the usefulness of the site.
