* banks won't answer your weird questions about how much money can be
deposited and withdrawn in a day, how many wrong tries you get on a pin
number, when transaction are scheduled to appear on the mini-statement, etc
etc.
* don't assume ATM pin numbers will work - a few wrong entries and you're
often locked out of using the card
* test how deposits and withdrawls will actually look on a mini statement
many weeks in advance.
