Yeah, but I'm used to cheap, efficient, friendly, black and white american banking.
You can do things like go to the cash point put a cheque in an envelope put your card in the machine tell it how much the cheque is for, it even asks if you would like to take money out against what you're putting in the machine, slip the envelope into the machine and your cheque is in your account by midnight that night.
I mean being a member of a modern economy it matters how fast you can move money around. 3 days to clear a check and 3 days to transfer the money is 6 working days for money to change hands. That is ridiculous.
I'm still waiting since this morning for a call back from my bank. Why is it that everytime they say they are going to call you back they never do?
But I know what's going to happen, they are going to cancel the card that I never got, issue a new one and I'll have to wait for 10 working days because of their fuckup. What am I going to get, a bunch of flowers?
Sorry, most of you are used to this having lived with it for most of your life and don't know any different. For me in 4 years I still haven't adjusted.
