A bank account, a bankbook, cash or a cheque: essentials for old school banking.
The process: join the queue, handover your bankbook, then deposit or withdraw whilst having a friendly chat with the cashier. Not so speedy as these days, but easy, friendly banking where it was feasible to speak to a member of staff to get things sorted!

- When we had to show a cheque guarantee card when buying goods using a cheque?
