This comment actually doesn't make sense since there's always been a price to communicate outside of face to face (postage, telephone, ISP, etc.). I get the spirit of it, though.
My bank recently switched all of its tellers with a row of ATMs inside the bank. I think this is kind of what they’re talking about.
Switch to a credit union. If your bank is publicly traded then a portion of their profits are being syphoned away to rich douchbags, instead of services to customers.
It is a credit union… we switched to them ~12 years ago because Bank of America was being an asshole with their fees.
My bank is strictly online and have never had to pay extra (for now) for any kind of extended service nor ever had to speak to a rep. I kinda like it that way.
I haven’t had to pay extra yet, but I am anticipating that being a thing soon. But I do have to drive further to get to a bank that still has a notary.
I communicate way more face to face than in another way. So if I read communicating, I'm not thinking of calling, emailing, letterwriting or anything not face to face.
