   I've never heard of the video feature.   How do you like it?  I     
   would assume that if there is a video-teller, then it is not     
   available 24 hrs.

   Which reminds me, I'll probably want to discourage cheques now     
   too. The only way to process them is to go to a bank. No thanks.   
      
   I utilized drive-thru banking a few times, but that was decades     
   ago, and in a major city.  It wasn't totally bad, but sometimes     
   the height didn't seem right for my passenger vehicle.
