Shitty Bank

I have a Citibank account here.

Whenever I get an email from them I chuckle because the way they spell it in Hangul is read as 'Shittybank'. This is the from line in the email

한국씨티은행


Sounds pretty accurate. Although I have to say the Korean Citibank is less 씨티 than the American 씨티 Bank.

Why you ask? They have an ice cream freezer for waiting customers. Free ice cream!

Also, unlike NYC banks, the employees are polite. Yes, polite.

I have heard horror stories of people banking with KB and Shinhan banks (the big ones here). I think the key is to join an American bank in Seoul. They want the US dollars.
