A bank near me (large, large multi-state bank in America, cough) removed all the teller stations, dropped the blinds and hasn’t run teller operations to drive-thru for several months now.
I’ve never seen anyone remove the machines until the whole bank building was abandoned. There’s a few of those here in the Midwest as well.
The “bank in America” you mentioned is probably the same one that has closed some branches down here, too. Not sorry to see them go - crooked as a dog’s hind leg IMO. Understand that they sent out no notice to any one who did or might be inclined to use their bank. No signs or anything. They are just closed.
Chase has at least four drive-throughs within easy driving distance of my home. I know they’ve laid off staff - including one of my friends who had been there almost ten years - and wonder how long it will be before some of them close also.
