Banks eh?
Take the following:
You go into SubWay, you get a meal deal, you get a voucher for a free drink, or sub, or whatever. You go to any other SubWay and you can order your free item and present the voucher. No dramas
Now, try to port this over to the banking industry. You have a cheque you receive from your employer. You to a branch of the bank in question. they wont cash it.
WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE! ITS THE SAME FUCKING BANK BUT A DIFFERENT BRANCH! ARE THEY UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE INTERNALLY??????
Besides the fact that banks are apparently really fucked up when it comes to cheques, everywhere - You guys still use cheques? What are you - the US?
Bank transfer, man! Direct desposit!
Vort, i sware i dont know why we still use cheques. Probably to do with paper trails or something, but Irish internet banking leaves a lot to be desired mate, an awful lot.
For example, i want to change my ATM card to put Laser and other things on it (laser is basically a debit card). I cannot do this unless i fill out forms. Why exactly? they already have all my details, i just need to authorize it!! Why cant i authorize it online? Other banks allow me to, RaboDirect for example!
Rabo is a dutch bank. They are a lot more like German banks, I guess. Weird though.
