  1. I don’t trust banks with my money unless the govt bails them out. Worse than their contemporaries, the illegal scammers anyways. Be warned.

  2. Like the idea in theory but careful what you wish for. Plenty of people crash out when it comes to gambling and even trading, letting them lose everything to a bank is irresponsible to say the least.

  3. Often though Islamic banking was “interest-free”. but according to this it isn’t, and I don’t know if it can exist can it?

    ” A unique feature of Islamic banking, in theory, is its profit-and-loss sharing (PLS) paradigm. In practice, however, we find that Islamic banking is not very different from conventional banking. Our study on Malaysia shows that only a negligible portion of Islamic bank financing is strictly PLS based and that Islamic deposits are not interest-free, but are closely pegged to conventional deposits.”

  4. As long as it doesn’t make the machine take longer I guess it could take off – “Let’s face it, when you’re taking out money in order to dash into the supermarket in the middle of a frantic day, you’re more likely to be thinking about shampoo or fruit juice than taking out a new mortgage or life insurance policy.”
