It is not a choice for us, they are removing physical offices, and they have fewer employees. I even have to book an appointment to get inside the bank office. Even if I want to cash a big cheque into my account!
 

     I didn't know that. There are somewhat less banks here,
but I can easily walk to mine. There are banches in most local
towns, so I can easily get to an ATM. My bank is open 7 days,
usually with 2 tellers on duty. And I can deposit checks in the
ATM, too.

They pay better interest, but what are the guarantees? I would
never get an online bank account. There are safer ways to get
interest.
