# Overcoming Objections: But My Bank Does That

# Overcoming Objections: But My Bank Does That
As a notary public, I've lost count of the number of times I've introduced myself to people only to be met with the response, "But my bank does that." It's a sentiment that I'm sure many of my fellow notaries can relate to. I don't take it as a personal slight, of course. It's just that most people are simply not **aware** of the many ways in which notaries can be a valuable resource.

When I hear this response, I take it as an opportunity to educate people about what I do and the benefits of using a remote notary. For example, I often explain that while many banks do offer notary services, they **may not always be available when you need them**. Often, a notary at a bank may only be available during banking hours, which can be inconvenient for those with busy schedules. Alternatively, a notary may only be available by appointment, which can be difficult to fit into your already-busy schedule.

Another benefit of using a notary like myself is that** I am able to notarize a wider range of documents compared to most banks**. This is because many banks have a _prohibited_ list of documents they are not able to notarize. By contrast, as a notary public, I am able to notarize a broad range of documents, **including wills, trusts, loan closings, and more**. This means that if you need a document notarized that your bank is not able to handle, you can turn to BlueNotary.

In my experience, one of the biggest advantages of using a remote online notary is the **flexibility** that we offer. Whether you need a document notarized from a baseball field, a family vacation, or the comfort of your own home, we are a great resource. This is because as a remote online notary, we can provide our services from anywhere at any time. This can be a huge benefit for people who need to get important documents notarized quickly and efficiently without having to **disrupt their lives** to make an appointment at a bank.

To provide an example of the limitations of using a bank for notarization, I can draw on my own experience working at a bank. At the bank I worked at, we were** not allowed** to notarize wills or trusts. Additionally, we could not notarize loan closings unless the closing was from our _specific bank_ and approved _prior_. These limitations meant that customers who needed these documents notarized would have to go to another notary to have it done, even if they had a longstanding relationship with the bank. This could be frustrating and time-consuming for customers, especially if they had already gone to the bank only to find out that the **notary was unavailable**.

Overall, remote online notaries provide a valuable and much-needed service. While banks can be a convenient option for notarization, they may not always be available when a customer need them and may not be able to notarize certain documents. As a notary public, we offer the flexibility, accessibility, and expertise needed to get documents notarized quickly and efficiently. Whether you need a will, trust, or loan closing notarized, or simply need to get a document notarized from the comfort of your own home, we can help. So the next time someone says to me, "But my bank does that," I take it as an opportunity to educate them about the many ways in which a notary public like myself can be a valuable resource.
