Local Banks
I love using a local bank. After placing my NewEgg order last night for the computer bits, I got a phone call from a human at the bank – on a Sunday afternoon – about 20 minutes after the order was placed. She properly identified herself as a member of the Fraud Prevention department, gave me her name, and explained that she was concerned about the 4 transactions on the account in a short period of time. She had the exact numbers of each transaction, and asked me to verify the merchant.
It makes me feel better to know my bank is actually looking out for me. It’s what you get for not using a major national bank that only cares about profit, and not about customers.
