Telephone Banking — Ask for Hazel

Entirely fictional. Thoroughly nutty. Welcome to another branch of our story.

A phone showing the fictional AcornBank app.
A fictional bank, a real sense of humour. All people, places, products and figures are invented. No real banking or financial advice. About this demo.

Ask for Hazel

Telephone banking in the story is a hollow log with a leaf held to one end. Hazel answers, confirms she cannot see any balances, and talks the caller through the product pages instead. Call waiting is a woodpecker.

What the fictional line handles

  • Explaining a rate card, a growth scenario or a repayment table in plain words.
  • Pointing a caller to the right range hub or help answer.
  • Reminding every caller that no real account, payment or application exists.

What it does not handle

There is no number to call. No real telephone banking service, automated line, security check or call recording exists. A real bank’s telephone number is printed on its own card and website; use that.

The very small bark print

The AcornBank app, online banking and telephone banking exist only in this story. There is nothing to download, no store listing, no telephone number and no account to sign into. Never enter real credentials or card details anywhere on this site. Read why this bank is fictional.
