I believe the decision is already made to convert to a digital financial system with the elimination of cash.
Money as we now know it, whether paper or coin, will disappear. If that takes place, why would banks need tellers or ATM’s? The public will be expected to manage all financial transactions from home or by I-Phone when away from home.

That’s absurd. I’m able to do all of my banking on my phone, to include paying on my HELOC. Transfers to other institutions are handled the next day if I initiate it before 3. Thank you Credit Union of Texas!
Like it or not, it’s the beginning of the end for brick and mortar banks.
Most all transactions are electronic now. I don’t know the last time I stepped into a bank.
The cost of having them can’t be justified.
