Voyager suspends trading, deposits, withdrawals, and loyalty rewards
I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one who just wants a bank to be a bank.<p>I've been with the same relatively small regional bank for 30 years. I have a checking account, savings account and that's it. They've been stable this entire time, and I've never worried my money was going to disappear.<p>As another sign of being an old man, I'm old enough to remember the phrase "as safe as money in the bank". You see, when I was a kid, the banks had been operating under decades of strong regulation by the FDIC and other agencies, and were widely considered to be a safe place to put your money.<p>Not that the banking sector hasn't seen its share of problems in that time. From the S&L crisis, to the home mortgage lending fraud that lead to the big crash. But in all that time, with just a little effort, you could put at least some of your money in a regular local bank, and expect it to be there tomorrow.<p>Bank local! If you want to speculatively invest, that's fine. But keep some money in a local bank so that you can pay your bills next month.
