Thank you for banking with Your Local Bank! Promotional copy, yadda yadda, whatever.
Are there any banks (especially in the Seattle area) that offer this as part of their online banking? If not, any idea how this could be suggested or promoted? Alternatively, are there any reasons why this couldn’t be managed securely?
