Physical businesses? The horror! Won't someone think of the fintechs?

  Or what if I live in a rural area and have very few local branch banks available? I actually had an issue with this and ended up sending a notarized letter by snail mail, since I didn't feel like making a special 1hr each way trip during business hours to the closest branch.

    There is no right to not be inconvenienced by living in a remote area in any country I’m aware of.

      If a country does not strive to make good use of all its land and attempt to better the lives of its people why are there wars? Clearly they're fine with their top 3 cities. /s Seriously, you see this in any country of any size. Remote may just mean 300km/186mi off coast. Politicians go where the votes are of course, but this just means disregarding rural areas is a self fulfilling prophecy. The more you do it, the more remote they become.

    > Or what if I live in a rural area and have very few local branch banks available? Then you have to be ready to accept that there are advantages and disadvantages to your choice of where you live, and that is one of the latter. There's a reason rural property is so cheap. It comes with a lot of disadvantages and inconveniences and costs that city-dwellers don't need to pay.

      City taxes are a never ending bitch.
