Showerthought: I walked past a bank branch in Calgary and it hit me how much has changed

I was on 17th Ave yesterday and saw a big bank branch that was nearly empty, but right next door a small shop had a line for a new payment app kiosk. It made me realize brick and mortar banking is fading way faster than I thought for everyday stuff. What's a fintech in your city doing that makes old banks look slow?

Wow, that's a sharp observation. In Vancouver, I see people using those mobile payment apps to split rent or send money right at the table. The bank still wants me to come in for a notarized form. What specific thing do you still have to go into a branch for that feels totally outdated?

Wise in Toronto does instant cash back.

Doubt they're closing all the branches anytime soon.
