Nick,
 
NA> In the last several years, it is now manditory that a customer at any of
NA> Canada's five major banks MUST insert their bank card into the

There are no tellers here anymore, it's a thing of the past.
 
NA> And by the way, its a "chip" card. The banks here no longer
NA> read the magnetic stripe cards.
 
That's already the case here for at least 10 years.
 
NA> Otherwise funds can be moved by cheque ...
 
What's a cheque? It's still being used? The use of cheques here was stopped on 
Jan.1st 2002.
 
I'm always amused to see how primitive the US banking system is. I never use 
cash... instead always the chipped bankcard, text-msg payments by cellphone, 
.... We had a rudimentary PC-banking system in 1985 already.
 
Our debit-cards have been inactivated in the US because of massive fraud and 
credit cards must be opened for every trip, sometimes providing travel details, 
for up to 90 days.
