This reminds me of an experience I had recently. I wanted to open a new
checking account. I decided on a particular bank based on the fact that
they waive numerous service charges if you do direct deposit, all ATM
transactions (< 2 teller visits a month), get your checks as images, etc...
Well, I went to the local branch to fill out an application. They told me
they do all that online now, so go home and log on the the internet and fill
out the app. I went online, and filled out the application on their secure
web site. I got a followup phone call from a bank rep who needed more
information and verification that I actually filled out the app. Then I got
a postal letter saying they could not process my online application and to
visit the nearest branch office to open an account. Sheesh! What's the
point anymore??? And how much did it cost them to think they were saving
money by having an online presence...
