Until last week this now white building was ASB (Auckland Savings Bank) just round the corner - now it doesn't even have a notice saying it has closed!
That is the second local bank to close and I have been told that all but one of our five local bank branches will be gone by next April
That photo is taken on a sunny afternoon but there are already bugger all shoppers - I am expecting the local shops to mostly go bust once the banks close.
Darn, I'm being negative again!
This is both positive and negative.
This is clearing the way to $500 silver and unobtanium bitcoin.
Also, as the little banks go away, so will the big banks. They just don't know they are sewing the seeds of their own destruction.
So, be prepared, and know this is a battle.
Stay positive! This is a battle for your mind.
I read somewhere they were closing because customers don't need as many physical locations as they use, younger generation don't go to the bank like the older generation did.
