    Wells Fargo shutters TWELVE branches in a week while Bank of
    America axes five amid 'banking bloodbath' - is YOUR local
    on the chopping block?

    Banks filed to close 30 branch last week, according to new data

    . . .

    This has been an ongoing thing for maybe the past year,
    though it seems to be picking-up speed.

    I think the banks KNOW the neo-housing-bubble, and a
    few other bubbles, are starting to burst. As such they
    are trimming operations, esp 'underperforming' branches,
    in preparation.

    Note too that the 'competitive instinct' likely led
    to the creation of too many branches. Every time a
    Walgreens goes in, a CVS is built right across the
    street - it's like an instinct. Banks kinda did
    the same.

    The SAD part is that the last housing/property/credit
    bubble wasn't THAT long ago. PEOPLE/BANKS LEARNED
    *NOTHING* and repeated every stupid move.

    For the record this week :
