 * It is quite a refreshing combination of minimalism and an inscrutable absurdism. -- 18:06, 15 July 2008 (EDT)
 * Now, please tell us your checking account number...  ħ uman  21:37, 15 July 2008 (EDT)
 * "Checking account"? What a quaint concept. Here in Soviet Europe, most of us use credit cards and digital signatures. I don't think I've even seen a check since the late nineties, except for those I get from the US. -- 07:02, 17 July 2008 (EDT)
 * Actually cheques are still common in the UK (or at least they were the last time I was there). But if you want to use one in Spain they look at you like you are from the stone age.--Bobbing up 07:08, 17 July 2008 (EDT)
 * For my Euro account everything is done with direct debit using a PIN or online using a payment number. Security procedures are much stronger than the UK although I that is about to change for my UK bank with the issuing of a personal card-reader. Most of my UK stuff is credit card rather than debit and the only cheques I have written this year are for major dental surgery. The weirdest thing is moving cash from pounds to euros. With the Nationwide in UK, taking cash out overseas does not incur currency exchange fees. So I withdraw up to £300 at an ATM from my UK account and immediately put it back into the same ATM to credit my Euro account. [[Image:jollyfish.gif|25px]]Genghis   07:31, 17 July 2008 (EDT)
