Passbook
A passbook or bankbook is a paper book used to record bank or building society transactions on a deposit account. Traditionally, passbook was used for accounts with a low transaction volume, such as savings accounts. A bank teller or postmaster would write the date, amount of the transaction and the updated balance and enter his or her initials by hand.

The passbook, which was around the size of a passport, ensured that customers h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
