Totally agree with this idea. Brilliant!

Respectfully, I believe I have knowledge as to how banks work. I spent 25 years in the banking industry, 10 of those years were as a Manager within the Cards area of a major bank. Banks are always looking for ways to save money and increase profit. One of those is the demise of cash. The...

As a former banker, I can certainly see their argument around increased fraud. However, I also believe that this is also another step to force the public to stop using cash.. Banks NEVER do things just to help their customers.

I currently have a dispute with my Neighbour over replacing a very deep and complex retaining wall. It seems that this is ALOT more expensive than a fence and the Rules/Regulations and laws relating to retaining walls are much less clear cut. Even our local council will not give me clear cut...

Speed cameras in South Australia are not about saving lives, they are about raising revenue, not saving lives. I have no objection to speed cameras, it is where they place them. Example, where there is a change in the speed limit zone or at the bottom of a hill. They are never placed where...

I love Tony, but he has hardly been there for the last year. Once again, he has not fronted today. Perhaps he has personal issues we are not aware of. Anyway, time for a new era. I am hoping the wonderful South Aussie Charles Bryce gets the gig, or the equally talented Emma, another wonderful...

As Sharon proceeded without your agreement, I believe the cost is now hers.

In 1974 I joined the then Savings Bank of South Australia. It had around 150 plus branches statewide. Today it trades as BankSA (a subsiduary of Westpac). A handful of those branches remain but they have been merged with Westpac branches and co-branded as Westpac/BankSA.. Most banks are now...

Here we go again. Another way to increase profit with the customer being on the arse end of their experiment. Customer service????? What customer service??????

I live in Adelaide and am very familiar with Jeremy. Very pompous and full of self importance. There is very much a them and us quality about this man. We seem to have these people in Adelaide. Bob Francis was another one. A late night talk show radio host who took all he could for free and gave...

Just another Big Company trying to force cash out of existence, with this campaign being led of course, by none other than THE BANKS. As usual, they try to spin it with explanations such as " it will make our lives easier" or the old tried and true excuse of "We the consumers wanted it". Anyone...

Is this an actual Australian Story??? Seems it has a lot of American terminology! If it is in fact an American story, then he should have said to the Neighbour, "Feeling Lucky punk? well are yah"

Why didn't the lazy bastard of a husband check it himself?? Does his wife have to do everything??? LOL.

I don't care one bit. I gave up watching the commercial stations "Circus" that they pass off as news breakfast shows. I have been an ABC News Breakfast fan for 5 years. Not to say that they don't have their own issues, but when compared to the commercial offerings, IMO they are streaks ahead.

surely a health body with an acronym of "Who" must be tempted to call themselves Doctor Who. Lol.

I may be in the minority, but I never liked Sam. It seemed to me that she pushed Melissa Doyle out of Sunrise, and then did the same to Nat on Farmer wants a wife. So glad that Nat is returning full time to Farmer. Just my opinion.

In my 25 years as a Bank Officer I saw many attempts at attempted fraud, but 99.9% of them did not end well for the offender. The Banks do have very tight controls and checks and balances, and used to have a large team of Internal Auditors, who were quite often the ones that caught out the...

Here we go again. A big company stuffing up, and when they do, they get their spin doctors to try and cover it all up with the crap IKEA has come out with "Ikea is committed to inclusivity and accessibility for customers and co-workers, and that they appreciate feedback that can help improve...

Sorry Liz, but you are pathetic. A former elite athlete and you can't cope with packing your own groceries. Obviously, Liz is not struggling with the cost of living as many Australians are. Guess what Liz, sometimes to save money you have to do some work. As an Aldi shopper, I know they are...

You are spot on. The staff no longer even know how to count cash. They are there to sell, sell, sell. home loans, personal loans, credit cards. why? because they are all big profit makers. They don't care about us, unless we are making them profit.
