Thirty years ago, I went to the bank weekly. I went there so often, I had my favorite tellers and they knew me by name.
These days, I go inside a Wells Fargo branch maybe once a year if I need a money order, if even that frequently.
Everything is electronic. My paychecks are deposited electronically. If I receive a personal check, I can deposit it through the WF app on my iPhone. If I need cash, I can get cash back at the grocery store on my purchase without paying a fee. And I rarely use cash.
Branch banks are becoming obsolete. They certainly don't need as many as they've got.
Use cash more. Do your part to keep cash alive. This applies to all FReepers.
When you live in hurricane areas you need cash for evacuations - often power's down for days and cash is king. Our grocery stores restrict cash back to $50. Other than that, I agree with you on banks... I might go inside one once a year.
I use Fidelity Cash Management as my bank. Zero monthly fees and all ATM fees are reimbursed. Very user friendly website.
