Some banks don't close at 4. My bank doesn't close until 4:30, and 6:00 on Friday's.

So they can take a couple of hours and roll around in the cash before they go home.

Most banks, around the world, it is assumed, will close at 4.

With direct deposits, billpay, online loans and mortgages, ATMs with check deposits and Credit Cards why do you need to step into a bank? I haven?t had paper money in my possession for over 3 years.
