The banks trading hours says otherwise
At least have checks clear and transfers show for online banking. It’s a Monday after a holiday weekend and I’d like to have the money I made over it please! >

The bank I use has mobile deposit funds available immediately up to $10K. >

Wow, I have to wait 3-5 business days for a mobile deposit to clear. Because of that, I never use it unless it's small enough I don't care. >

That definitely takes away most of the convenience. >

TBF, it is a small local credit union with only 3 branches. But yeah, I don't bother with it unless it's not much or I don't need it right away. >

So, not a bank. >

"Banker's Hours" used to end early so the employees could spend a couple hours counting money and doing bookkeeping. But now its just tradition.
For covid quarantine purposes, here in Minnesota Banks were considered "essential" and were exempt from closing.
It's really just up to the individual bank what hours they have, most of the big ones do have banking online 24/7 plus ATMs. >

I might be ignorant on this, but I feel like 85% of banking transactions can be done via online banking or a 24/7 atm. As a result banks now have more reasons than ever to have crap hours of operation. >

I can honestly say I’ve been to a bank twice in my life. Once to set up my account with each bank. Everything else I do online. Even then banks here are open late Thursday’s anyway just like a lot of things here in Australia >

Where the fuck do you live that our banks are open late on Thursday’s? I think that might just be your particular branch it’s certainly not a normal thing in Australia >

No it’s quite common for shops in Australia to be open late on Thursdays for a few extra hours. Almost every shop does that. >

Shops yes, banks no
Banks in shopping centres close at 5 all days. Except I suppose whichever bank you walk past regularly that doesn’t but it’s not normal
