eh… and whose idea was signing up for the account in the first place eh? tut tut… but yeah one of the major draws with anglos when i opened my account (well before my sister!) was the 8am to 8pm opening hours – you can go any day before or after work, just makes it so much easier. actually i read somewhere that bank of scotland are planning to operate with much better hours in a bid to lure customers, so fingers crossed!

No! Enough with this yo-yos slang. Am I the only person who hates it?

*Deep breath* 8pm closing = genius move.

Not sure is snail mail is any more secure. My flatmate had her cheques stolen from the post. Couple of grand spent before she realised it as she hadn’t asked for more cheques.

you can choose to get all correspondence by snail mail instead. i had been quite concerned by the e-mail thing at first, but then i thought that the info would not be that valuable on its own and that chances of interception would be pretty low anyway?? i can be very naive and stupid sometimes, but even post has its problems sometimes these days…

thought i was just being paranoid about the e-mail stuff but i think i’ll switch to postal statements just to be sure. thanks daithi!

First of all – congrats on being the proud owner of a thousand euro!

I’m always amazed how few banks realise that customers aren’t interested in “normal” opening hours – then again, there’s a huge push to get us all banking online so that we don’t actually come into the branch at all.

The thing that concerns me most about that is the sending of personal financial information by email. Sounds tremendously insecure to me.
