Banking sector has new vampire tendancies

The public is blissfully unaware that their hard earned money no longer belongs to them. It belongs to the Banking sector. After all , can you access your cash without their approval?<br> <br> This is what happened to me.<br> <br> I stopped at the ATM machine on my way home after work to draw a few rand to pay my workers wages, and my card get stuck in the machine. <br> <br> A message flashed on the screen that I need to immediately contact my bank.<br> <br> Now bear in mind, that we get charges some of the highest banking fees in the world and that using an ATM machine ( other than your own bank) results additional fees. One can argue that the blame should be shifted to the other banking institution, but thinking about the matter gives us clarity.<br> <br> MY BANK DOES EXACTLY THE SAME! If someone with another banking card uses my bank's ATM, they get charges as well<br> <br> HERE IS THE THING... I get told by the help desk that they have assisted me in cancelling my card ( Does not sort wages problem) and they can courier another card to me.<br> <br> Oops forgot to mention ...getting the card is going to cost me R150<br> <br> Makes one think about the VAMPIRE nature of banking sector ???
