Bank ATM rip-off

Here in Japan, if you try to withdraw money from an ATM out of hours, you get charged a transaction charge. But does it cost the bank more to operate their ATMs at night? No, of course not, it costs the same. I think that it is a bit of a rip-off to charge in such a way.

    Sorry, I decided to spy on your blog. Hah. Anyhoo, about the ATM thing, I got a tip! Maybe you’ve heard of Shinsei Bank but its the best! No ATM fees if you have an account in that bank! And when you get ripped by other banks, using their ATMs to get money from your Shinsei account, etc., you get the ripped money back at the end of each month! RAD AIN’T IT? Maybe you know already but since I feel your pain very much, I decided to share the happiness. Anyhoo, see you at work tomorrow. I should go to bed now. Ciao! If you don’t want me to spy I won’t spy anymore lol. But the temptation . . . just couldn’t resist. lol. Alright, baibai. Hah.

    In Ireland, we’ll get charged for everything. Even for lodgement!!! Well, it’s not much as each transaction costs 0.28c. Still, I’m paying!
