Back to bank-land, as I momentarily took over from my poor cousin (her fangs are firmly planted in the floor, and the next time a banker tells her a lie, she might well turn into a wifwolf!).
Today, I had news from Bank#2:
the gal gave me prices (without including the VAT!), and they're expensive, and for that price:
- one must add a percentage per transaction AND a percentage according to the amount of the transaction (because we're not paying them enough per month already!)
- they want to know everything about every Jack, Jill, Bob, Bethany, and Paul who works with us (name, postal address, and phone number). Funny they're not asking about their mums' phone numbers, blood types, and tax returns!
- they can't bloody spell (so how are we supposed to believe that they can encode?)
- they don't seem to be doing much to protect us (I e-mailed the gal a long list of potentially problematic situations, and I look forward to reading how they're planning to protect us in the cyberspace!)
- it's our webmaster who's supposed to configure everything (how cute! My cousin and I are the wedmistresses!)
Honestly, I answered the gal and asked questions, but I've got a bad feeling.
I'll contact again Bank#1, and if it comes to that, since we'll be doing all the hard work, we'll buy a bank thingy for Wordpress.
The banks keep being the most frustrating part of this business launching thingy (a solid tie with the Revenue guys, though), but we can definitely see the finish/launch line now.
Nutty Update: Bank#2's gal answered me. She'd like me to phone her coz I asked too many questions by e-mail.
ô.O
Oooookay. To Bank#1...

asked too many questions by email! for real! steer away from them, drama looking for an audience!
good luck with bank 1 or wordpress, I am eagerly awaiting your finished selves!
It does sound a bit as if she doesn't want me to have any written proof of what she'd say, doesn't it?
And on top of that... I *hate* doing business on the phone!
I told her (by e-mail *mwaha*) that I'm not free to phone when she's at her desk... No answer yet.
And they're bloody expensive! Bank#1 is £5 cheaper, and they offer to install their bank thingy on the website *and* check that it works!
Since we do need a special account anyway, I hope we can iron everything and we can launch the ship this month... *fingers crossed*
Oh... our edition of Shakespeare's sonnets is going to be lovely (and cleaned of idiotic emendations!).
I'll share the news as soon as possible. ^_~
