Inside a Bank

Categories

I have little occasion to find myself inside a bank anymore.

 

 

As a child growing up, I have distinct recollection of my first Citibank passbook. I couldn’t wait to physically go to the bank, make a deposit, and see how the amount would change.

 

 

But now, I don’t ever physically go into the bank. There just so little need. Deposits can be done electronically. Credit cards and checks take the place of cash. I don’t even know the people at my local branch.

 

 

Just an observation about change on a rainy Tuesday morning.

I make it a practice to make deposits in person. I like knowing my local branch bankers. I find it helpful. And the labor union advisor in me likes to help keep folks employed.

Great observation!! I do not remember the last time I walked into a bank. I make my personal deposits through an app on my phone. The next generation will not need a physical location for a bank. None of my kids ever go to the bank.

I go to the branch and make my deposits in person. I like to see my banker and remind him that I am indeed a real person. Plus it's always good to get out and take a nice walk!

After seeing The Big Short, much prefer Credit Unions to banks. Recently have been using the phone for deposits so don't go in much anymore...

At first, I didn't trust the on line banking. I used to save receipts for everything. Now it's automatic . I gues we get used to technology gradually. But I miss the lollipops ;)

I still walk into the bank once in a while even though my bill paying is done online. Call me old school!!!
