Are you with ANZ?

Last night I was given a task, that should have been a lot simpler than it turned out to be. I needed to transfer some money into an ANZ account by midnight. If I transferred from another bank, it would take a couple of days to clear. This meant that the money had to come from another ANZ account, one that I don't have. Without thinking, I started messaging my MSN list to see who have an ANZ account. ANZ being one of the big four banks in Australia, I figured this would be easy.

After about 15 minutes and talking to countless people, I finally found one person with an ANZ account. But this person didn't even have any money in that account! The search went on for another 30 minutes, and eventually I managed to find a source, and here I say my thanks. What amazed me though, was that even a future employee of ANZ did not have an account with them. So much for being one of the big four.

Vote for which bank you use on the right!
