Major Australian bank quietly stops handling cash at some branches | Customers of one of Australia’s biggest banks will no longer be able to access cash at the counters of certain branches in the country.
... “Our customers are changing how they bank with more than a 50 per cent decline in in branch transactions across ANZ over the past four years. Only eight per cent of our customers solely rely on branches for their everyday banking needs, with the majority preferring online and mobile banking methods. ...”
To fight CBDC, more of us have to be willing to be "inconvenienced" by using cash and cheques. If we willingly put our head into the noose, we can hardly then complain when they tighten it.
The amount of bank branches they have closed the past 10 years here in West Australia is incredible.And many of these branches were BUSY.Of course if your closest branch was 5 minutes away and is now 20 minutes away you will visit less, part of the plan.
