My parents bank at Fifth Third. Their sign lists their name as a fraction, or 5/3. You can take that as an improper fraction and convert it to mixed numbers making it 1and two thirds national bank, meaning for every one percent of interest they give you, they take two thirds of every deposit you make. Or, convert it into a decimal by taking five divided by three, which gives you 1.66, or what you actually get paid in interest on your savings account there after taxes. Realistically though, the bank that fifth third replaced was predecessed by at least 5 other banks in the same building. I dont know how you can rely on a bank that cant simplify a fraction though...wierd. <br /> <br />Matt <br /> <br />BTW, yes, banks do work with, for, and against railroads (just so I dont get banned).
