Why Dont Banks Provide Hand Sanitizer?

Money is one of the dirtiest items we handle. I ask for hand sanitizer every time I'm in the bank. The bank certainly can afford to provide a dispenser or two. Ideally there should be one at every teller window but even one at the exit door would be welcome .

I've heard that before - that money can carry a lot of germs. Hand sanitiser would be a good idea.

I don't go the banks anymore and I seldom touch money as we often use cards .. But I always have in my hand bag a small bottle of hand sanitiser or wipes just in case I need to sanitise my hands .

The bank we deal with has sanitizer at the teller windows. It's a small home town bank, not a major world bank. Wonder if that makes a difference or not. I agree, money is dirty. Though I use the sanitizer there, I wash my hands also when I get back home. Have a blessed day

Maybe you could carry a small bottle with you? I use it when traveling on trains.

That's a good idea! Have you brought it up to the bank yet? Told them they need to get some, have it available.

That is a good point. They should put that instead of lollipops.

Sounds like a reasonable suggestion.

Pls. tell me the mode of recovering the expenses towards providing sanitizer? Who should pay for it? Customer need not pay. The bank as a business organization can not introduce it.

It isn't that bank's responsibility to provide hand sanitizer for you. If you know you're going there, you should bring it yourself.
