Do You Still Go To a Bank???

[Caroline13]

I did MOST of my life until online banking but the S hock came when my Long Long Time BanI k branch closed early this year. Talk about a Shock.....

Now here comes this Shocking News.... but I already experienced a closure..... FYI members...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WpmQdflUvM

I dunno if I have ever gone to a bank. Maybe to cash a cheque but not to do anything big like most people do......

I mainly use Cash............

[Bonniegirl]

Yes. I still do! I'm old fashioned and don't like online banking or ATM's . I feel safer and more comfortable going into the bank.

[ponytail]

Yes. And I still insist on getting a paper paycheck. I've never even been to an ATM.

[Caroline13]

I've NEVER used an ATM, nothing like doing business with REAL PEOPLE...I am OK with paying some bills on line and I get a couple checks auto deposited every month, but the New Order we are in and getting deeper is here.


On a sad note, I heard all Denny's are closing....talk about a historic landmark, Dennys. The young people will never know.

I do most of my banking online .I go to the bank to cash or deposit a check.

It's a bank. That's all I ever do there. Either deposit or take out money. I can't think of anything else I'd do there.

Are safety deposit boxes still a thing?

I use the bank drive thru ATM to deposit or withdraw. I very rarely actually go in the bank.

I still go in the bank on occasion. Not like I used to. I notice quite a bit of people still go in the bank. It always seems to be crowded.

That would still go in the category of “taking out money”

I pay most of my bills online. Very convenient. I have direct deposit on my Social Security add pension checks. Any personal checks that
I receive I go to the bank to cash them.

I only go the bank for ATM withdrawals, the drive in window for cashing, what few checks come my way, and making change from the Atm money. I like to get ones, fives and tens for going out to eat and giving a tip.The rest I do online which is nice. 40 years ago I worked in a bank in a tourist town and the 5 tellers would have lines 6 deep with customers in the busy summer months. So much has changed. No longer small town banks, most now are chains.

But then you lose the classic time-tested excuse for not paying

[TheLittleFaerie]

I do yes! I just enjoy doing those "older things". I use the ATM after hours but don't do Online banking anymore, too many log in issues... I also write checks, prefer going to a movie theater instead of streaming, I love eating in restaurants instead of DoorDash, etc
