Well, americans like violence (since they spend a lot of time killing each other) and tend to make movies about gladiators so it all makes sence. :-D

If help is needed, then just say so. It's not harder than that.
People will come and go but there is someone out there who is
willing to help out.

Aye.

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!! Now **THIS** is funny.

In Canada, NO bank would allow this to happen. PERIOD. Not a snowballs chance in hell of this nonsense EVER happening.

In the last several years, it is now manditory that a customer at any of Canada's five major banks MUST insert their bank card into the
terminal and key in their PIN code upon visiting the teller. It doesn't
matter if you are a customer for years. Doesn't matter if you are even
trying to do a deposit at the teller into YOUR OWN account. You need to insert your bank card. And by the way, its a "chip" card. The banks here no longer read the magnetic stripe cards.

This is in addition to the teller's discretion to randomly verify additional forms of ID and any unsatisfactory answer provided results in "Thank you eh? But we cannot complete this transaction. Sorry!"

Then theres the many security cameras pointed at you, the security guard on duty eating poutine, etc.... Simply having account and routing information doesn't cut it here. In this scenario, that person MUST be physically
present to transfer the funds.

Otherwise funds can be moved by cheque (subject to a manditory waiting hold and/or CDIC insurance for fraud), or email money transfer (which is HEAVILY traced).

There are no tellers here anymore, it's a thing of the past.

Wow, well we still have them here. I do notice that not many young people use a teller. Its mostly the "older crowd".

Otherwise funds can be moved by cheque ...

What's a cheque? It's still being used? The use of cheques here was stopped Jan.1st 2002.

Yes, cheques are used quite frequently here. Granted, you cannot pay for groceries with a cheque, but I can pay my other bills and my landlord with one if so desired... but I almost always use on-line banking.

The fees, however, are a bit of a deterrant to frequent use of the "tap" card.

I'm always amused to see how primitive the US banking system is. I never u cash... instead always the chipped bankcard, text-msg payments by cellphone ... We had a rudimentary PC-banking system in 1985 already.

I actually somehow doubt that anyone can just withdraw funds from an American account with the account/routing number like what has been mentioned here. Theres primitive, and then theres just plain outright stupidity; the amount of fraud and laundering must be the highest in the world.

That's already the case here for at least 10 years.

Our debit-cards have been inactivated in the US because of massive fraud and credit cards must be opened for every trip, sometimes providing travel details, for up to 90 days.

Likewise in the UK and I would have tought through out the EU if not the world.

But during the time I had a USA bank account (in Texas) I found they did have some strange way. Like by cheque was not liked in other parts of the country and that included Texas. Needless to say I did close it as soon as I could.

Was a pain in the ass getting funds to it from the UK anyway nad their exchange
rates was off the scale.

you seem to have missed or misunderstood the key phrase "direct deposit"... you know the way a lot of people get paid these days? their employer deposits their paycheck directly into their account... we're certainly not talking about visiting any bank... so direct deposit where your check is depositited into your account does not prevent or have any switch to prevent your employer from taking money out of your account... let them over pay you a little bit and they can take it right back without even asking you...
