Money or Credit Card...or both

meant to add have had cards stop working due to card damage or grit on the magnetic strip .cash is handy as it takes days to replace a card.

As I posted on here some time ago; I have had an EFTPOS transaction refused and the store instructed to retain the card (which they didn't) when there was plenty of cash in the account. When questioned on the phone ANZ said the account was fine and they had no idea why it had happened. They have failed to reply to my letter on the matter.

I make sure I have a wad of cash tucked away in a safe spot these days just in case ANZ decide they won't let me have my money again. I wouldn't trust the bastards any further than I could throw them.

Hi mike
Why do you still bank there plenty of other options but i guess they are all the same
Cheers Kev

Good question Kev. A combination of laziness (I have business accounts to move too) and, as you say, they are all the same. I may well move my personal banking to a credit union soon though.

Surprising isn't it, that in this day and age, bank robbery is legal? :)

I do when I go bush - at least $500. The bloody banks can't put a stop on cash as they choose to do from time-to-time with plastic cards even if you do have money in the account.

Hi There,

At Mt Dare we have EFTPOS, VISA, Mastercard but no Amex and Diners. Our data links are through satellite and other remote places would be similar to us. The problem arises when these links are down for whatever reason then you need cash. Filling with fuel then makes you cash poor.
We would be happy to give a cashout through EFTPOS as would other places.

Hope this assists.

"Filling with fuel then makes you cash poor"...really?....so it happens to everyone else too :)))
and I thought it just me who's wallet was always empty after filling up nowdays...
