I actually installed bank computers thank you very much. Even had C3 level security clearance for a bit to do my job.
I can’t help it that their software can’t do a simple fucking direct deposit from the IRS, I didn’t write any of their software, I have no idea how it’s supposed to work, and even the bank manager couldn’t understand why the deposit didn’t go through either.
When I realized even the bank manager couldn’t understand it, was when I said fuck this, closed my bank account, and have stuck to physical cash ever since.
Yes, unfortunately I was born and raised in the chaotic country of the USA.
I’m almost 42, so I don’t exactly take offense to occasionally being called a boomer. But hell, you’d figure the bank manager should be able to answer why a deposit transaction didn’t go through.
Banking apps weren’t quite a thing yet then though, as smartphones didn’t quite exist yet. Any online banking done then was on a computer through a web browser.
Yeah it’s not your fault at all, it was harsh for the other commenter to call you a boomer but I won’t like I did chuckle. The US is slowly catching up, the bank I use mainly Monzo is now operating there, not with as many features but I highly recommend if you do want to try a more modern bank.

Are you US based? US banking infrastructure is very far behind. I’m 28 and I’ve never used or seen a cheque. Been using banking apps all my life
