Mac, I am with you. I have never been into a branch with my bank and that is just fine with me. When I call up (rarely) I get the answers I need without the fluff and high sales pitch and without the threat of everyone I know being privy to my finances.

Yup Nate, that plan turned out awesome! I mean, it is almost as if there are no consequences at all…

What are you guys talking about? This idea is fantastic. It’s almost as good as the concept of giving everyone loans, reguardless of credit history. And that turned out great…….. right?

And, one would think community banks wouldn’t be as able to withstand an economic downturn.

Maybe the trend to favor small banks is another form of misplaced nostalgia? You know, everybody wants to return to the day when every teller knoew almost every customer.

I kind of like the anonymity afforded by my big bank. I don’t know if I want my neighbors privy to my financial habits.
