That's right Marianna. But don't tell PayPal that because a group I was on get into trouble by asking members to do that, it seems they like their pound of flesh.

They're getting their pound of flesh. It's just a question of whether they're getting it from the payor or the payee.

Same here we had several in the towns surrounding us, nearest town 7 miles is down to 1 Bank and 1 Building society, I see many major bank brands are closing branches this year.

Not a paid promotion, but when out nearest branch of Santander closed about 4 years ago, I bit the bullet and went to Starling bank which is just online, but I have been very pleased with the service, good security, lets me know a day or two before on what money is coming in or going out, saving rate about 4% with no withdraw restrictions, you can access them via mobile or web browser, even paid a cheque in once by just taking a picture, I know many of the big brand names offer online banking, but I got peeved with them shutting down branches but still want me to give them my money.

It is the same with Post Offices, we had several local, nearest 1/2 a mile away, 5 have closed for ever so it's a 14 mile round trip, they have introduced a mobile PO that calls in park for a couple of hours once a week

That's progress for you
 
We had a few post offices closed a few have opened up now. We're thinking of moving banks, we have an investment account but trying to get a face to face with a person to talk to about it is like herding cats! We're seriously thinking of just hiding it under the bed

I have space under my bed @Pearl if it helps
 
Saw comic Milton Jones a few years back who cheekily told his opening joke about him seeing a friend of his who lived in a district of Newcastle near me who had been robbed of £2000 from his home. He thought it would be secure by hiding it under his mattress and was absolutely gobsmacked that someone had climbed over his garden fence lifted the mattress up and had taken the cash , bloody cheek!

As he was about to move on some latecomers from the second row of seats rocked up to take their seats in the middle of the row so Milton said take your time to settle down in your seats , don't worry you haven't missed much , he then started the show again and retold the joke !!! I have to admit despite the insult I had to laugh :)
