I think for older people internet banking is a problem, many just use the bank to collect pensions and pay the odd bill, no excuse for younger computer savvy people to go to the banks thou.

The few times I had to use the bank in Polemi and Stroumpi there was the odd Yiayia. I know because they would sit down rather than queue, which was totally understandable, but it was always worthwhile letting them know that you knew they were in front of you.
