Anyone switch to the strictly online banks? How has that worked out? -- Gator Hokie 01/26/2019 05:47AM

For all those not switching because it’s too hard, you should look again. -- CPRVHokie 01/26/2019 12:38PM

Thanks for the input... -- Gator Hokie 01/26/2019 1:06PM

Why can't you deposit cash? -- Beerman 01/26/2019 1:15PM

Ally and some other online banks don’t allow cash deposits. -- Gator Hokie 01/26/2019 1:17PM

Two thoughts...how often do you deposit cash? I can’t remember the last -- CPRVHokie 01/26/2019 1:12PM

Not frequently, so this is really on the lesser concerns.., -- Gator Hokie 01/26/2019 1:18PM

Kind of like cutting the cord of cable. Once you do it you’ll probably -- CPRVHokie 01/26/2019 1:30PM

Don’t use an online bank, but haven’t set foot in mine in years. -- RoswellGAHokie 01/26/2019 11:59AM

I've been switching savings account between online-only banks for years... -- MP4VT2004 01/26/2019 11:50AM

I’m in the industry and here is my take: -- CPRVHokie 01/26/2019 10:00AM

Agree. Even though I opened my account at a brick and mortar I do -- HokieNLot11 01/26/2019 2:04PM

Nope. Most banks have an “open an account” feature online. ** -- CPRVHokie 01/26/2019 2:12PM

Don't you think that traditional banks think long and hard about building -- HokieNLot11 01/26/2019 2:25PM

Yes. And new branches are almost always smaller and more tech-driven than -- CPRVHokie 01/26/2019 2:34PM

Smaller FIs are closing the gap on tech offerings -- One4VT 01/26/2019 1:15PM

What does your avatar say? Too blurry to read. ** -- CPRVHokie 01/26/2019 1:28PM

I am a founding stockholder of a local bank that's only about 10 years old. -- F4EHokie 01/26/2019 11:27AM

You make an excellent point about the importance -- mancunian 01/26/2019 10:28AM

Wasn't Amazon a contributor to VT's new NOVA campus? ** -- EDGEMAN 01/26/2019 10:33AM

They are the impetus for the state spending to develop that new campus ** -- 133743Hokie 01/26/2019 12:21PM

Thinking of it the other way around, VT's a contributor to Amazon's profit -- `lag 01/26/2019 11:29AM

Northern Virginia isn’t really a good example of “building communities” ** -- CPRVHokie 01/26/2019 10:41AM

And that's why they aren't going to disappear. -- EDGEMAN 01/26/2019 10:10AM

Well, regulations imposed following 2008 have made the formation of de novo -- CPRVHokie 01/26/2019 10:17AM

Is that the same regulations banks pushed to get into insurance? -- Stork 01/26/2019 11:24AM

No. This was Dodd-Frank. And allowing commercial banks into other financial -- CPRVHokie 01/26/2019 11:35AM

On reread this sounds argumentative and that is not my intent. A cautionary -- CPRVHokie 01/26/2019 10:20AM

Not sure how this relates to community banks... ** -- CPRVHokie 01/26/2019 10:51AM

I think the new one is a Community bank -- EDGEMAN 01/26/2019 6:24PM

TownBank sucks ** -- CPRVHokie 01/26/2019 6:36PM

Been using an online bank (USAA) for probably 20 years now -- Tafkam Hokie 01/26/2019 06:27AM

Yup. I have USAA and State Farm online banking. Love both. ** -- Stork 01/26/2019 09:49AM

Yeah, I suppose so. Don't even think of them as an "online" bank. -- `lag 01/26/2019 08:37AM
