Also, to report your card as lost, call the number on the back of your card

A couple of months ago, Heather and I started banking with a new bank because their interest rates are incredible. We deposited $50 at the end of last year and now we have a yacht. Crazy.

The only downside of our new bank is that you don't get a paper checkbook. Consequently, we maintain a checking account with a credit union just in case we need to transfer money over there and write a check for some reason (for example: we've been transported to the year 1932 and need some consumer goods.)

The other reason I love the new bank is that they get the Internet. The credit union? Not so much. I just sent the credit union an email because I wasn't able to log into our online account manager. The response I received:

"We have received your e-mail request; however, due to security reasons, we are unable to process it at this time. This measure is taken for your protection and we ask that you re-submit your request using the secure e-mail option through Account Manager."

Oh, okay. I'll log into my account to send you a message telling you I CAN'T LOG INTO MY ACCOUNT. I don't know why I didn't think of that.
