OT Banking

[Lanny]

SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE JUST LONELY AND LIKE TALKING TO BANK TELLERS

Not just bank tellers.
Wanna talk? Can you please hold my hand while we talk?

My billion dongs actually aren't much, you know.

But you have a lot of them... most of us have just one.

Ha! I knew someone would make that joke as soon as I posted that. Knew it would be you to first capitalize on it, too.

I need many dongs for my many hotties! Most of you mouth breathers have just your mom.

I think many saw it.

 

[riverman]

Is this when they come out tied and blindfolded?

First post of yours I've ever read that made me actually laugh! Kudos!

I use a large famous international bank ..same one all my life...I can change currency easily when I travel and open an account from branch to branch so I don't need to travel with money orders, etc....last time my wife and our son and I spent Chinese New Years in Phuket Thailand we opened an account there and closed it when we left....it's good to know your banker and travel light...whatever you need you can pickup when you get there.....I watch people trudge through airports with all this luggage and just chuckle. Last time I left Taipei to come home to Oregon I took all my belongings in a suitcase and shipped it from the post office....cost 40 dollars to send it snail mail and took several weeks to get to Oregon....I've learned some travel tips over my years. Only thing I check through is a guitar case

What's the fun in that?

NAME THE BANK

Do you have your bank lock your cards so you give them an itinerary when you travel so they can't be used outside your travel path? I did that right after my son got ID theft in Canada on a snowboarding trip once....works great but you have to let them know where you'll be and for how long.

I always call and let them know my travel plans, so I don't get a fraud alert.

I have an HSBC card I use for travel ATMs, not connected to my main accounts. I get better rates on withdrawls and reimbursment of fees on there.

FIRST I NEED YOUR INFO ...date of birth...SSN.....all card numbers and personal information then I'll process your request!

I don't get the best exchange rates through the bank but don't care..I'm not changing money on the street with a taxi driver to get better rates..it's like tipping after a meal. It's so cheap there that I always come home with more than I thought I would.

Yeah, but mine is as big as a Billion of yours.

Looking to open another savings account to park some money in. Any suggestions?

Rather have something more tech focused, I do most banking online. Transfer between accounts, scheduled deposits from other accounts.

Was thinking of:

1. Marcus by Goldman Sachs
2. SoFi

Marcus doesn't have a card you can only wire money in and out.

Anything else anyone have experience with?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Fuck it, went with SoFi

 

[tlongII]

Fuck it, went with SoFi

They do have a nice stadium.
