Macquarie Bank ditches cash at all branches and goes 'completely digital'
Macquarie Bank to ditch cash at all branches
Cheques and ATM access also to be slashed The entire Australian island that has gone cashless
By FREDDY PAWLE and PETER VINCENT FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA
One of Australia's largest banks is ditching cash at all of its branches and shifting entirely to 'digital-only' services.
Macquarie Bank customers will no longer be able to access over-the-counter services or order new chequebooks from May 20.
The bank's automated telephone banking service and chequebooks for new cash management accounts have already been slashed.
All cash and cheque transactions are gone, and Macquarie customers' access to NAB ATMs will end by November 1.
The announcement is the latest hit for those who prefer to pay with cash, to avoid records being kept of all their transactions.
In April, thousands took part in a 'Cash Day Out' protest and rushed to withdraw money from ATMS to protest against Australia's slow but inexorable transition to a digital-only country.

The decline in cash usage has been swift. Just a decade ago, about half of all transactions were cash-based
The plandemic really played the Australians like a fiddle.
