That's the funniest thing I've heard all day! The US banking system is still in the "Stone Age" compared to what it should be. I moved there for 3 years, and the wife had a SSN. We couldn't wait to get back home where things were way easier.
Shit I lost my card one time and since I was out of town they wouldn't even send one to my house so it could be sent to me. I had to go to my home branch 2000 miles away. Debit transactions from your own account can take days. And try putting a cheque in the bank machine and removing the cash immediately. Not gonna happen. Nothing happens immediately. The automation is still proccessed by hand at the end of the day. And that's just the beggining or the "Incomparable banking system"
