We are nothing but numbers to the banks. We have no faces. We have no lives.

[HopeHoops]

I remember when it was otherwise.

[Avalux]

1. We are a commodity. n/t

[Supersedeas]

7. Intangible property and all the property rights assigned thereto

[Arctic Dave]

2. Nothing but "profit modules"

Interchangable and disposable.

[DainBramaged]

3. My piece of shit bank, Valley National Bank of NJ STOLE $34 from me

and will not return it. They made a mistake in a transaction and the exact words from a bank representative is 'sorry, mistakes happen, we can't give you your money back'. Fuckers.

[HereSince1628]

4. Yes, as paper people go, Banking Corporations

have seriously impaired empathy

[ixion]

5. we're nothing but a number, or a statistic, to ANY institution

public, private or otherwise.

That is part of the problem, in my opinion.

6. I remember when I knew everyone at my local branch...

they knew your routine, asked about your kids etc. It was called Delaware Trust back then---then it changed to First Union--I called it the FU bank--then Wachovia---now Wells Fargo...

Times have changed.

Bank of Delaware--Gone

Wilmington Trust (another local)--Gone

Delaware Trust--Gone

All taken over by big banks.

The only local bank left is WSFS--Wilmington Savings Fund Society.--My son is doing his internship there.
