I needed some cash yesterday morning and there is a shop just across the main road from me which has a grubby looking cashpoint machine fitted to the wall. I was on my way to work so I thought I would just pop my card in a get the cash out I needed. As I entered the card, the screen blanks and then displays some errors and the thing seems to crash. My card swallowed, I try to speak to the shop keeper who says its nothing to do with them but some company owns it but he doesn't know who.

I go back outside and the machine is still the same. Crashed and not spitting out my card. I waited a while but it was dead. I so very, very rarely need some cash and today I did and this happens. :mad: Now I have cancelled my card and requested a new one. I had to get my partner to get some cash out for me and I now have money in my wallet for the first time in years.



That was yesterday. Today I get a message from Halifax saying the app has been updated (Google Pay on Android) with my new card details and I can use it right away. I still have some cash to use up but it's good how quick that was sorted in the app. I'm quite impressed.
 
The only time I ever need cash is when dealing with a tradesman who's determined to avoid paying VAT. The sooner it's not a thing the better.
 
I can't remember the last time I used an ATM machine!

So much so that these days I have this weird inherent distrust of ATM Machines.

With almost everywhere accept card I wonder how long it will be till there are no ATM machines left!


:p

Yup, our windowcleaner takes cash, it's such a pain in the **** as I never have any in the house, so have to pop out especially to grab some >_<

The tautology in this post is giving me a nervous twitch :(
 
Can't say I've used a cash point in a while either. It wouldn't surprise me if the only ones that start to exist are ones that charge you for withdrawals, unless of course you head to a bank branch - which will only exist in major cities :D
