You're lucky to have a physical bank near enough.  Here in the UK the
banks have abdicated their responsibility to serve customers in person,
so physical branches now only exist in major towns.  A typical visit to
the bank takes half-a-day and involves perhaps a 50 mile round trip.

 My bank is within 2 miles. Last time I was there, I noticed there were
only 2 tellers. I think there used to be 8-10.

My Bank is about a twenty minute drive away ... and then I have to provide a Drivers Licence or similar! My Bank is on the local Army Camp! ;-P
Thankfully, I can use ATMs everywhere ... some at a $2.50-3.00 cost though.

 

My rule is - any communication claiming to be from my bank, be it email,
phone, or a letter in the post - is probably a fraud attempt.

 I got one of those recently. The bank name was spelled weirdly.

I recently got "one" from our Tax Office ... offering assistance to complete my lastest Tax Return .... about two days after the end of our Tax year. Give me a chance.
Fortunately, I looked at the address the e-mail had been sent from .... *NOT* our Tax Office.
And it didn't mention that I've yet to complete/submit my 2023-24 Tax Return either!!
