I do still use them. I have money deposited from Europe every month, I have a very small pension deposited there and a couple of other smaller monthly payments go in there. I use it as Christmas gifts for my grandchildren with no problem. But, I do not use them for "real" banking any more.

On the surface it sounds ridiculous---smacks of the "nanny state" as well as self-serving for the bank. But on the other hand, if you were scammed out of 11K, you'd probably be screaming at the bank as to how they allowed it to happen......
