Charter Bank – High Tech Hand Scanners

Hand Scanner at Charter BankSo I got a Safe Deposit Box over at Charter Bank in Opelika this week. Well, the new branch on 2nd Avenue has a pretty cool feature.  You enter a code and place your hand on a (hand) scanner and it lets you into the Deposit Box area.  You don’t have to ask anyone at the bank for help, you just scan and go!   Does your bank do that? Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t think they did!   PS – If you’re reading this, don’t cut off my hand to get in! It’s just my will in there, ya know!
