When I was in India, I complained about the services. Wait till you read this. I moved to US recently and opened an account with Wells Fargo Bank as soon as I landed here. Wells Fargo has a large network of ATMs and is quite a popular bank. After about 45 days of opening the account it was closed. Yes. They just closed it. With a significant amount of balance. Without a rhyme or a reason they closed the account. And the best part is I knew nothing of it. No one told me anything about it. One evening I tried swiping the card in Smiths after buying a cartfull of groceries and the goddamn card didn't work. I called the bank to check why and they tell me that the account was closed. With just about 20 dollars in my wallet, I was left without a bank account. The reason they gave was that there was some problem in the account so they closed it and are opening a new one for me. My new set of cheque books, cards and the cheque of the balance amount will be mailed to my residence. In a week's time. When I went to the bank, none of the Managers or executives were available. A young guy who am sure is an intern tells me that my new account is active and I can start using it as soon as I get my cheques and card. When I ask about the money in the bank; he says the cheque was mailed to me. I told him I needed cash. I only had 20 dollars on me that wouldn't last 2 days. He had no clue what to do and just shrugged off saying; "I have done my best sir." My only consolation: I shouted, swore and cursed for a good half hour in the bank lobby.The clowns had nothing to say except 'sorry sir.' They have sent a letter of apology but it still doesn't change the fact that I have no cash on me. Now, I have really begun to love INDIAN Banks. ICICI's trying to be like Wells Fargo but they are a lot nicer when you go to them, good old SBI, warm PNB, Namma Canara Bank. Wow! How I wish one of them were here. Nothing like the Nationalised Banks in India. I hate the way banks everywhere are going. Faceless. Impersonal. The future generations will probably not know that human beings work in banks. They will define a bank as a machine that stores and gives money. Private Reply to Bliss Blot (new win) |
