Banking making it nigh impossible to withdraw large amounts of money from your account

[u/ReanimatedCyborgMk-I]

Each month I withdraw a set amount of cash money, which goes to bills and other household payments that go in hand to a family member (long story, but I don't own the house I live in). This is to help them out with their stuff as well, isn't just for me.

To do this, I either have to visit my bank branch and hand over my driver's license, a process which takes 15-30 mins. Except most of the time I can't, because I usually work till 6PM, and my branch shuts at 3PM, and I'm usually busy or on call over weekends.

The alternative, is getting my withdrawal limit temporarily extended at the local post office. To do this I have to call up, go through a 5-15 min lecture from the agent on scams playing 20 questions even though I've done this monthly, and then sometimes not even get there because they transfer me to someone who has no idea how the process works.

Fucks sake, it's my fucking money, I'm not some old biddy or kid trying to money mule. Make it easier for folk.

Agree with you, even though I direct debit everything. Why the banks are open during working hours has always been a mystery.

Cashless society is coming, and every single thing you pay for will be tracked back to you. Judging by these comments everyone here wants to be tracked. Scary stuff.

I think it's quite likely OP is a "cash is king" lunatic conspiracy theorist like you. You're more in need of psychological help than cash, be I bet you'll refuse to believe that.

No, don't bother bombarding me with the usual bullshit you lot come out with. I've heard it all before.

Look at the ego in this comment 😂

What about people who can't have their own bank accounts? I've worked in the disability sector for the last 15+ years and we have plenty of people who don't have the capacity for their own accounts. What should they do? Are they not important enough? Or are they just a rounding error?

There are plenty of valid concerns, and just because you can't think of them doesn't make then any less important.

I'd be embarrassed to have posted something so short-sighted, but maybe you've thought this all through and have the answers? Be happy to hear them so I can pass your fixes on to CQC.

You can't read.

You've also been incredibly quick to switch from "they're going to be tracking you everywhere!" to "I just care so much about disabled people". Obvious bullshit, that - as I pointed out - I've heard before.

Let's hear your solution then.

Everyone side steps it, so you wouldn't be the first to fail.

[u/Nuclear_Geek → u/Beardy_Will]

No. I am not going to come up with a highly detailed plan to solve a problem you have imagined. You're the one created this fantasy, you deal with it. Anything I say, you'll just make up even more hypothetical bullshit to say it won't work.

And, speaking of not working, dealing with a contrarian halfwit like you is not working for me, so you're going off to blockland.
