From September 11th @NatWestGroup will be limiting the amount of cash that you can deposit and withdraw.
They also have the right to refuse cash and even checks on any basis in their new terms & conditions policy.
The banks are trying to force a cashless society upon us!

A bit UK-centric but this is going to happen all over (Australia for example)
IT'S COMING...
Thoughts?
the banks are the governments secret police...
A friend tried to cash a check for $2;000 and the bank said they didn’t have the funds available and to return the next day.
A polite way of saying “get lost”.
Cashless Society = You will own nothing and we will own everything.
That kind of talk won’t help him keep his bank account! ;)
Yes because they’re going to steal it all (or should I say “appropriate” it)
The Mark of the Beast presupposes a digital currency
I have lived pretty much cashless for several years now.
Cash just isn’t needed any more.
Third World migrants don’t generally arrive with a sense of obligation to pay tax.
Then they will say cards are not necessary with this chip in your arm.
No thanks.
My father ran retail businesses.
I tend to favor retail businesses over banks so I try to pay in cash so the retailer doesn’t have to pay a card merchant fee, which is costly in the USA (and much cheaper in the UK, EU and Canada).
my point is, we are already living in a cashless society
Cash is optional
Banks want to phase out cash to increase merchant fee revenue and governments want to phase out cash to increase tax collection.
Seems we're all going to, like the song says, owe our soul to the "Company Store"...
I wouldn’t want a McDonald’s franchisee to have to pay a 35 cents merchant card fee on my $1.79 hamburger purchase.
Europe has been anti-hard currency for a long time.
In the UK there is no paper currency for the quid. Just a coin.
They tried that in America for decades…the dollar coin was rejected by we little people. Over and over again.
Many people enjoy paying with a debit or credit card, in part because you needn’t become a mugging victim and be out $300. It’s also easier to track purchases. This is called consumer choice.
Nigel need to step away from the pipe. Surely, they may WANT a cashless society, but lots of folks - including many bankers - love banknotes.
Stop using plastic, folks and use paper as much as you can.
“I have lived pretty much cashless for several years now.”
Same here. However I do like to use it occasionally. But I think we all see where this is going as fewer and fewer people use cash on a daily basis.
BTW that bank NatWest Group changed its named from Royal Bank of Scotland. I waded through their web site which is drenched in ESG, Inclusion, sustainability etc.
Pretty much all Corporations bow the knee to that stuff but this bank really gets into it big time. It almost as if the text was written by Kamala.
