> Banks can substantiate, with voluminous data, that banking relationships are very sticky.

Indeed. I'd have changed my main bank years ago if not for the pain of changing over all my automated payments. I don't like them at all but they've not done anything bad enough to make it worth several hours of irritation, probably spread over multiple months, moving everything.

… I kid you not that my last bank, in order to close the account, demanded that I travel 1,667 miles. It had to be closed in person. So yeah, they were incredibly sticky.

They also required me to find a fax machine, too, when they were the victim of fraud.

I don't miss you Regions!

Do we have to close bank accounts? Why not just withdraw all the money and forget about it?
