Dear Editor,
I have a suggestion for all banks on Dutch side St. Maarten. As I was standing in the bank line for over an hour with just seven people in front of me and listening to the disgruntled customers, I am writing this as a suggestion to have deposits made possible again via the ATM machines, since the speedy deposit services have been cancelled.
A very good example would be the BNP Bank whereby the machine counts the money and makes sure the correct amount is being deposited with no discrepancies. That way the long lines can be avoided and customers won’t be late for work.
Another suggestion is to have fill-in tellers or part-time tellers, whereby they can be replaced during the lunch hours and at month end when the lines get really long. Perhaps the board for these banks can see it as an idea for investment (upgrading the ATM).
I hope to see this service provided as soon as possible and have your customers have smiles on their faces again.
Vanessa M.
