Reply to comment by [deleted] in Danish bank workers celebrate first full year without robberies by asteriskspace

[It had been happening continuously for years] (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/scotiabank-to-close-rural-branches-1.6315342).

No one said they were all gone. Just they continuously close rural branches. It's not hard to guess why, but it is dreadful for some.

You linked an article where one of the many banks in Canada closed 3 branches…

Oh the humanity

You mentioned one remote village.

Here you go.

And another.

Oh look the only bank on an island closing.

20 more in Saskatchewan.

Do you work for a bank?

No I just don’t think it’s that big of a deal that one or two branches close in each province when you have 6 chartered banks and dozens of credit unions and nobody banks in person anyways

All the seniors I know bank almost exclusively in person.

Also your "one or two branches" in each province assertion is demonstrably false. If you aren't from rural Canada you might not be aware that you don't have 6 different banks and a credit union in town. Many towns have one bank. Despite totally capturing the banking for that area, the customer loyalty is zero.

Until ATMs start dispensing and accepting coins, I'll still have to.

And you said "nobody" in your earlier comment, which is pretty absolute. Also there are other places that deal in coins- arcades, for starters. Anywhere that deals in cash and doesn't price things in exact multiples of 5 dollars, for another.
