Oddbean new post about | logout
 Would be nice, but some banks require an online mobile or your bank account is suspended. During covid my wife's phone died and we couldn't get a new one due to most severe lockdowns. We rang the bank wtf and they simply told her the account will be re-activated one her phone number is reachable again and at least for 48h. How frequently you check that? Can I replace the sim in my phone? They said if you go offline we suspend your account too. Cash was not accepted that time and it is hardly since then. 
 I'd be at the bank that day closing any accounts. We do not have to put up with their bullshit anymore. 
 You need to change banks, or better still open an account with  a credit union they are so much better. 
 credit union is better 
definitely
