They will go away... Just like in Europe. Many small towns that had like 2 or 3 banks have none. Everything is done on line. And no... I do not like it.
Banks are not here to serve you but to make money. Employees cost money. And buildings too.
I'm at the bank weekly. I'm self-employed and get 10 or checks a week to deposit. I also often need quarters to make copies of documents (at places that don't let you use your phone).
I refuse to bank on my phone or over wireless internet. I only bank on my wired desktop computer. Be able to get a car loan right now is also handy, especially since we tend to buy a car as a last minute decision.
one is i don't like using atm's in stores to get cash for security reasons and the other is you can't always count on atm's working when you need cash .
we lost local atm's here 2x already . one in sandy and one when a lot of atm's went down after 9-11. while i don't do a lot with chase as far as activity , because we are private clients with them we know everyone and they do favors for us at times as far as getting around certain restrictions on perks . .
I would have thought the same but I have seen the opposite. There's more banks around here than ever before. I guess people still like visiting banks. I haven't been to one in several years.
Yup. Branches of new banks I’ve never heard of, opening on nearly every corner. It’s like drug stores and 7-11s!

Those aren't favors. They're the benefits of qualifying for private banking services.

The Chase Branch near my house is in an isolated location at the back of a large parking lot. It does not seem like a safe location after dark. I would much rather use an ATM in a store. The only ATM failure we ever encountered was at the Chase bank. My wife was charged for a withdrawal but no money was released. She had to file a report the next day and wait for them to investigate.

I once had that at capital one . no money came out and it showed a deduction .

no they do us favors .. like you are only entitled to a chase culture card for your home area.. they hook us up when we travel for other free admissions otherwise you can't get access to other area cards
I do commercial landlording and I handle all mortgages over the phone. For personal mortgages, I just call my credit union.
I do a lot more than paying credit cards. I deposit money, withdraw money, transfer money, etc.

I’ve heard of that. It’s not for me. I’m a bit slow on the uptake when it comes to tech stuff.

Though the little branches in the supermarket seem to be fairly busy when I pass them, I personally have not set foot in a bank since 2009 when I closed a business account. Back then I would get many checks to deposit, and that was before they offered deposits by phone. Now with that convenience I cannot even see a reason for a business to need to go into the bank.
