I cannot find any mention of this elsewhere so am wondering how known it is. (apologies if it has been discussed, I did a search!)
In the branch yesterday I had to use the counter facilities, when queuing I noticed a sign stating effective 1st November they will no longer allow cash withdrawals at the counter. I assume it only applies to current account holders although the sign didn't state that. It got me thinking,
What if you need more than the ATM limit
What if the machines are not working
What if you have lost/had stolen your card or card is broken, forgotten your pin.
What if you simply do not wish to use the ATM or there are 20 people queuing at the machine, no-one at the counter and you are in a rush
Can the bank legitimately refuse to hand over your cash at the counter?
Personally I either get cash back when using laser or just draw out what I need but I know many people, young and old, who still use the counter for cash withdrawals.
