Banks Systems

What’s really going on with the banks?. On last Wednesday, my ATM card was not working in the ATM and POS machines. I went to the bank to replace with a new card. By the way, I was running out of cash, I have just none that in every bank in Kuwait when you withdraw any amount that is under 2000 KD they take a commission 2 KD.

I was really disappointed with these commissions, why do they take 2 KD for every withdraw, that’s really unhappy policy, because in these two days I have made 3 withdraw and they took 6 KD, so for what is the commission, as we already putting our money in the their banks?
