LETTER: Bank machines

The customer-friendly option, to drop cheques into a box with paying-in slips in a quick deposit envelope, has been canned.
Customers are now forced to use paying-in machines or wait in a long queue for counter service – and the queues are inordinately long because the number of service counters has been reduced to two and the machines are out of order and/or fail to read the slips and reject payment.
This happens even when there are staff available to help.

HSBC and others must think it’s Christmas come early.
