After exams, I’m switching to my bank’s newly introduced Lion Account. Even though I currently get most services for free because I’m under 26, oddly enough, the Lion Account is still more economical than my current Green Account. For instance, I currently pay extra for Maestro—it’s a small country and you never know when you’re going to end up making payments abroad—while the Lion Account already includes that.
Also, my other bank apparently hands out free debit cards, so I’m going to get me one of those. Why? Because it’s free, obviously. And also in case the other one fails or whatever. I’ve had that happen to me when I was still in banking hell. Believe you me, it wasn’t pretty.
It’s nice to see the whole online banking thing take off. Though my other other bank is taking it a bit far by not doing debit cards at all. Which is why it’s good that I’m a customer at a couple of other banks. Yeah, they all love me.
