Banking : Are You New School Or Old School :

[Kramer]

Yes New School , On Line

Half New School Telephone Banking ( Not on Line)

Old School Mail in bills , Line up at Bank

Other half takes care of it

[Lukester]

I take care of the bills the Old School way--mostly by mail but sometimes directly at the bank.

My pc was hacked once and attempted 3 or 4 times--so I would be a fool to bank online.

As of last week, I dont write anymore cheques. I am in the process of closing that account cuz I am at the point of paying $65 at the bank in fees and extras per month--and that does not include late fees through snail mail--as much as $100 per month.

It is not enough for banks to make millions of dollars per year but are making billions in profits...soon u will hear the word trillions from them.

They are in business to make money--and money they do make.

I am out of it now. All my clients pay me in cash now and I give a receipt when they ask. And if they do ask I add 5% Federal Goods and Services Tax (GST). If not they save the tax and so do I on Income Tax at the end of the year. But this is not really in my favour and have no time to explain, nor do I want to.

But as for banks, I ve had it!

...and no more ATM fees--woo-hoo!

Watchout fellow Canadians, banks want to raise the ATM fee from $1.50 to $2...and may go as high as $3 per transaction. Ridiculous.

[revnecro1273]

i only have to pay one bill and that is internet...the fee is taken directly from my bank account

hmmm, good idea. A possibility for me soon.

I m not done trimming down careless expenses. By late Summer (or early September) I should be a new man.

I have new goals and will be focusing directly on them. Perspectives of a new age to come.

New School. My accounts have so many freebies that I would be foolish to do otherwise.

Yes, when u have a certain X-amount u can bargain and even make certain calls and they will follow cuz they know very well u can shift your eggs or investments in a blink across the street.

New school. However, working for a bank and a branch beng downstairs, I tend to go old school sometimes.

I still pay by check for a few bills because I don't want my bank information all over the net.

[Da Fanatic]

money orders at the currency exchange, mail em in. dont even have an ATM card.

[dave nz]

New school. They still have banks?

[Davydave]

New school, no lines!
