BanksYour Ginger Fuhrer froths, "I hate my bank. Not because of debt or anything but because I hate being sold to - possibly pathologically so - and everytime I speak to them they try and sell me services. Gold cards, isas, insurance, you know the crap. It drives me insane. I ALREADY BANK WITH YOU. STOP IT. YOU MAKE ME FRIGHTED TO DO MY NORMAL BANKING. I'm angry even thinking about them."
So, tell us your banking stories of woe.
No doubt at least one of you has shagged in the vault, shat on a counter or thrown up in a cash machine. Or something

"You need a card per province that you plan to use your Bank of China account"I've read that sentence over and over and I don't get it.

I do believe ...The Yeti-man means that China is divided into Provinces, like for example, how the UK is divided into England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
And each different Chinese Province requires a different keycard? Is that it? Shit ... that's weird.
I studied Chinese at uni. Can write my name and order in a Chinese restaurant, but that's about it. They smile at me and pat me on the head.

yeah essentially ...there's 23 provinces in China, much like there's 50 states in the USA, or god-knows-how-many counties in the UK (geography of my own country not being my strong point) - imagine if you held an account in Shanghai and Jiangsu and lived on the border between the two. end up in the wrong one with the wrong card and you'd get charged for any transaction (not a lot, but still, charging me for putting money IN, wtf?) ... or if you did a lot of travelling round China with just one province card, the alternative being carrying 23.
*mind boggle*
