My friend went to Europe. Bank has new system. No need for cash.
No need for traveller's cheques. Card will work. Oops, after
he's gone they merge, issue new cards. His old card doesn't work.
Frantic transatlantic phone calls. I get his new card. Take it to
Europe.
My card works for a while. Then stops. It only works for my chequing
account.
They forgot to mention that. Friend lends me money.

Today's letter:

Dear Sir/Madam: Last transaction Sept. 8, 2000; Charge amount: $15.00
Current balance: $18.13
Please take note that the above-mentioned account is dormant.
We invite you to make a transaction (deposit, withdrawal, transfer
or update) before the second Friday of March 2002.
If no transaction is made, the dormant account charge stated herein
will be collected.
We thank you for your cooperation.

Well thanks eh for the great service.
These dormant people certainly deserve to pay
big service charges for nothing.

Who steals more money: banks or bank robbers?
