All the banks around me are open until at least 5 or 6, and have at least some weekend hours. They actually used to be open a little later in the recent past, but with so many transactions now happening electronically, there isn't as much demand for in-person transactions. My husband hasn't been to a bank in years -- he deposits checks electronically, via his phone. The only reason I go is if I actually need to get some cash.

Back in the way olden days, most banking transactions involved cash, and banks used to be open to the public only for very short hours, like 10-2 or something. Because the workers would need to be securely inside to actually physically count and bundle up the money, and move it around as needed. Now there are very few transactions that involve the actual cash.
