Power Echoes: When there's dialogue in-universe it's done with an echoing effect. This serves to make the dialogue distinct from the narration, but also underlines the man's terror as he tries to navigate his way through starting a checking account.

Thick-Line Animation: The Limited Animation effect is strengthened by the use of thick line animation to draw everything.

All for Nothing: The young man's sheer panic leads him to mistakenly withdraw all his money right after opening the account, thus closing it. Everyone laughs at him as he hurriedly leaves the bank.

Wingding Eyes: The man's eyes turn to straight lines and dollar signs as his panic and confusion lead him to withdraw all his money from the account immediately after opening it.

Limited Animation: Very much in fashion in the early '60s. Motion is at a minimum. When the man is talking to the camera, only his mouth and eyes move.
