All the "old reasons" aren't really valid anymore. Some branches don't even have the tellers really work with cash anymore... they use a machine to put the money in, and the machine also spits out cash, for them to hand to the customer.

Now it's more about managing employee hours.

But a lot of this is regional/local. In NOLA it's hard to find a lobby open past 5 and a drive thru past 6. In Katy, most branches were open until at least 7 and drive thru sometimes until 8 or 9.

Times have changed. Years ago, banks closed at 2.

I work in the banking world, and the reason for it is to give them a head start on processing the work that has come in through the day, and get most of it out of the way, or at the very least going - so that when the DT closes, and that work is sent - they do not stay till 8 or 9 to finish it - mist times they can be done and out by 6:30 or 7.

saves on payroll. don't like it? show up before they close the lobby or use the DT.
