Day at the bank
Monday, 5. May 2008, 19:02:04
Well today after many weeks of should i shouldnt i, actually its been two weeks i think. So what i needed to do was transfer some of my (hard earned, just like yours) cash to another bank. I would not normally do this cos my current bank has never done anything bad to me, other than when i got my credit card and they had to make four different cards till they got it right! Well other than that they were A Ok.
Now this other bank i opened an account with them and subscribed to their internet banking. Ohhh 'interrrnet'. Yes being involved with in the IT industry you would think i would have got around to this internet banking gig a long time ago, but didnt cos hey its scary. Anyway so i decide to make a payment over the internet but lo and behold i have to go to the bank first to set my 'limit'. You know like a withdrawal limit.
Sure lets do it.
Oh no sir we cant set a limit because you dont have your salary going into the account.
Um yes, so???
Well you need a salary going in.
Would a monthly deposit do?
No you need a salary. Or when you want to make a payment just come into a branch and we can do it at the bank
(yes that is the stupidest thing ive heard but i didnt say that out loud)
So whats the point of internet banking? That kinda defeats the purpose of "internet banking" (oh yes i did the air quotes with my hands)
I cant remember what the answer was but i left it at that. Anyway that same bank has another service, sort of like an investment thing exclusive to them which is why i wanted to transfer the money and back to my damn point cos ive been rattling of a story that happened weeks ago.
So anyway i did the transfer at my bank. Good helpful service again. And i dont know why i just typed all this. I hope i didnt bore you. Oh my point being is i finally got around to doing it. It maybe a little thing to you but for some people, ie the procrastinators of the world. We always push things for tomorrow and the next day until we finally never do it. So next target is to sort out my medical aid cos those blood thirsty leeches are sucking me dry
