Why are there no banks open past 5

Seems that If one bank chain would have a few branches open to 8 or 9 they would have tons of business.
Every other business has extended hours for busy people who work during the day

Back in the day, banks would have to close fairly early to balance their books. It took a long time-big banks would work all night and finish shortly before they opened the next morning. Computer processing sped that up, but they still had to close early enough for the couriers make their connection-all those canceled checks from other banks had to be shipped through the Federal Reserve system back to the banks they were drawn on.
Electronic imaging and real time processing have lessened the need for that, but it's still a tradition. More than you probably wanted to know on the subject

6 PM ain't gonna cut it.
20 years ago pharmacies closed at 6, now you got lots of em that are 24 hours.
Times change, banks need to get with the program

That's actually pretty interesting, didn't think about all that

That's why they call it," bankers hours" and why ATM's and online banking were invented.

What if I need to deposit money

the last time i went to walmarks around this time, their bank was open inside. woodforest i think.

That's what ATMs are for. Is it still 1995 or something?

No that wood forest bank shuts down around 5 or 6

They used to close at lunch, then reopen at like 3 or so for only another hour/ hour and a half just for convenience. All the days deposits were done by noon.
The phrase, "banker's hours", reflected this.
Mass banking is all headed to expanded ATMs anyhow.

I use ATM to take money out but I feel uncomfortable depositing money. I feel like something will go wrong. Guess I'm paranoid but I like handing my deposits to a person who is punching the numbers into the computer

Sounds like Lyle's issue not the bank and their hours.
Posted on 2/26/15 at 2:29 am to SuperSaint
I guess I feel this way because at my job I have to work 9-9 so I have a hard time getting to the bank during their hours

ATM or through your phone.
I'm in banking, and trust me, the industry is going in a moble and technology direction. Banks are going to close earlier, not later. Everything will be done electronically

Yep, there are a lot of these around here. I knew I saw a teller in there at like 3am. (Walmarks)

Not like you're in your 50-60s

So, you trust other people than yourself? The teller is operating a computer to make the deposit. Why can't you? The atm is more accurate than tellers
