Conversation at the Bank. You'll learn
how to open a bank account, deposit and
withdraw money, report a lost card,
transfer money, exchange currency, apply
for a loan, and close an
account. Let's begin with real
conversations and helpful phrases.
Opening a bank account.
Good morning. How can I help you today?
Good morning. I'd like to open a bank
account. Sure. Would you prefer a
savings account or a checking account?
I'm not sure. Could you explain the
difference? Of course. A savings account
is used to save money and it earns
interest over time. A checking account
is for daily spending like paying bills
or shopping. It usually doesn't earn
interest.
I see. I think I'll go with a savings
account. Great. Is this your first time
banking with us? Yes, it is. Perfect.
Please provide your ID and proof of
address, such as a utility bill or
rental agreement. Here's my ID and my
electricity bill.
Thanks. Everything looks good. Please
fill out this form with your name, date
of birth, contact details, and
signature.
All done. Would you like to make an
initial deposit? Yes, I'd like to
deposit $1,000.
Perfect. Would you also like a debit
card? Yes, please. Your debit card will
be mailed to you within 5 to seven
business days like along with
instructions to activate it. Great. Can
I also set up online banking?
Absolutely. You'll receive an email to
create your username and password. Is
there a minimum balance requirement?
Yes, you must maintain at least
$500. If it drops below, there may be a
small monthly fee.
Got it. Here's your account information
and a temporary passbook to track
transactions.
Thank you for your help. My pleasure.
Let us know if you need anything else.

want to deposit $300 into my account.

Just a moment. Done. Perfect. Thank you.

$150. Would you like it in large bills
or smaller ones? Large bills are fine.
Thanks.
Here you go. Please count it to make
sure everything is correct.
Oh, good. Thanks. Is there anything else

of it right away. May I see your ID,
please?
Sure. Here it is.
Thank
you. Okay, I've blocked your card. No
one will be able to use it now. Would
you like to order a replacement card?
Yes, please.
Great. We'll send your new card to your
mailing address. It should arrive within
5 to seven business days.
Perfect. Can I still access my account
online?
Yes, your online banking is still
active. Only your physical card has been
