Cash is no longer king!

[Mr Ripple]

Using contactless payments Is being encouraged even to the point the chip and pin limit was increased recently so seeing as it's better atm to pay by card i thought I'd bank some cash today.
Nope not even the bank would take it and they wouldn't even let me in to pay it into the machine.
Might as well use it instead of bog roll when i run out.

Think you mean contactless was increased, it's either £40 or £45 now.

 

[Miss Pepper]

It's £45 for contactless:

Yes thats the badger!

 

[JohnnyAce]

Yeah, it's £45 now, I never use cash anyway because if I have it on me, it's soon gone

I'm surprised mate, I went to Natwest in Arnold on Wednesday to drop some cash in, no issues at all apart from having to queue outside for 35 minutes. I used the automated machine though, not the counter.

They have been trying to reduce cash for couple of years, this is just the start now.

In 10 years we will all have chip and pin fitted under the skin on the wrist. It will hold your passport, drivers license, ni number, and bank details. [emoji848][emoji848]

It says...
"Continue to offer a counter service for cash and cheques."

Must be another reason. Did they not suggest an alternative?
