bankcrap.

if this is the christmas surprise, i will curse at the santa clause...UST emailed me 3 days ago regarding the financial issues, demanded for bankstatement; i have already sent the income tax slip to them and now they asked for bankstatement, how wonderful just before christmas when everyone's got no mood for work in excitement for the long weekend coming up. posb didnt keep the promise that the bankstatement would be ready within a day, so now had to wait until this long weekend is over, so that the documents could be faxed, no more surprise please..

furthermore, i had been calling the bank for past 2 days, the waiting time was simply too long, the tender voice "please hold, your call is important to us, we will attend to you shortly" wasnt very comforting, and all i wanted to know was whether i could issue a cheque in US dollars 'cause federal insurance co. only accpets US dollars for payment, waited and waited and waited, the answer i got was NO, fantastic..so went posb, requested for a bankdraft that carries US dollars, and the bank exchange rate was 1 to 1.54 and later when i was strolling on orchard road, the exchange display in the indian money changer store squeezed inbetween malls was only 1.52..that's extortion from the bank, and worse, u gotta comply..

i had enough of bankcrap today, maybe i shall work in the bank after graduation, it's madness amount of money they are earning from people like you and me...
