Envelope Free
So yesterday I went to the bank to use the bank machine. I was confused as I didn't see any envelopes anywhere. Then I read that it was an envelope free machine! So you just slide your cheque in, and it can also print a copy of the cheque on your receipt. You just slide your paper cash bills into the machine in the same way! It was neat trying something new although I found the process a bit slow for the moment.
One of my sisters who lives in California says she has a teller free bank! So you can just go to the back to get cash or change! Wonder how that feels. She says it's really weird.
I have to purchase some health and dental insurance for daughter L as she will not be covered for a couple of months under my husband's policy after she graduates and before she starts her new job. I got an online quote but I think I will just speak to a person on the phone to help me through the actual purchase.

It's easy to get cash and change now!
We have weird machines to, you can put it notes or coins, and then it adds them to your account, but it's always very slow, and you have a long queue forming behind you while the machine counts the pennies from your savings box! Valerie
It helps to speak to an actual person instead of dealing with a machine.
wow, machines are replacing everything!!! We on't have that feature here yet, ( the envelope free deposit), and of course we still have tellers, fewer min you but still there, health insurance is a complicated business for sure,
A very fast and convenient way to do banking, but it has cost society a lot of jobs. And the fees for banking keep going up even though services keep going down! Me thinks that there is something terribly wrong with that :)
That's quite convenient and scary at the same.. what if someone gets a hand on the records? I am old fashion, and I just want to deal with the teller.
I never trusted the envelope way but I rarely have to go to the actual building anyway.
My ATM is envelope free too, but if I'm depositing cash, I go inside. I like to see that it's deposited and I don't like to take chances...
It is so confusing. Every bank has their own policies when it comes to the machines. I have accounts with a few banks and I have to remember which one gets what.
The ATMs at my credit union have been without envelopes for years now. I just get befuddled sometimes as the direction to put the check into the slot. That has even been aleviated, though, with being able to deposit a check through my smart phone app. I take a picture of the check, make a few clicks, and it's deposited. That is really smart banking. I just wish my smart phone and/or the ATM could give me rolls of quarters. That's about the only time I have to actually go INTO the credit union.
