Easier said than done

These banks are proving to be a bit difficult.

As mentioned earlier, I want to close the account to the "too big to fail" bank, and open one to the local bank. Neither bank seems to want to cooperate.

The local bank's security seems tighter. That may seem good, but it is also bad. I've been using online services with banks for well over a decade now, but this bank does not make that easy. Even now that I've set it up, I have this sinking feeling that it won't work. We'll see.

But the "too big to fail" bank wants to do EVERYTHING online. If you want to get paper checks, it is like pulling teeth. For a checking account, it is okay. But for any other account--- fuhgedditaboutit.

I'm not planning to forget about it.

This little chore is taking a lot longer than it should, but that's the way it is these days. At this point, this idea may not even work. Imagine not being able to smoothly transition your banking account to another account. That is what I am talking about here.

Is that anti-competitive? Where's the anti-trust laws? What law? "Laws? We don't need any stinking laws."

That last line probably went over most people's heads. Otherwise, they wouldn't be acting like such scared little mice hiding out in their holes.
