Does it mean, no-notice, the ATM’s and credit cards just “stop working” one day?

Some fine morning, after heading off to bed from a fairly "normal" day, we're going to arise, have our coffee, start getting ready to head off for another "normal" day, and nothing will work ... just like that.

This thought has haunted me for years.

I think it will come more like a thief in the night, as Tiger said, with the federal government announcing a “bank holiday”

This will give the government and its selected patron financiers a few extra days to flee into seclusion

I presume this scenario is part of the reason for quiet hints (not explored by the collapsed US media) about recent redeploying and reassigning US military units to US domestic security duties

Might also be what big mouth Biden alluded to as a a “manufactured” crisis that will test Obama in his first 6 months
