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!

“You will only be permitted to buy what they allow you to, when they allow you to and where they allow you to. Only approved products from approved vendors.”
They will probably allow me to buy highly-taxed cigarettes. With cigarettes, other stuff could be purchased indirectly.
If a society doesn't need cash, it doesn't need competing banks nor separate credit card companies, savings and loans and the like.
Once enough CEOs and shareholders and even 'little ole us' tweak onto this, it will be bedlam for the postmodern ideologues.
A "cash-less society" needs only one card / app, one admin entity and --- one big ass rebellion soon to appear.
Digital and then digital fraud and then digital failure will ensue in short order.
We're nearing "Nicolae Ceaușescu" time. Or maybe Benito hanging from that lamppost.
It’s for the greater good. Theirs.
When we were still legal residents in Germany, I noticed a small but significant change in the media rhetoric. Germans were somewhat known for saving. And so some local media began introducing the term "money hoarding" into articles. When I first saw this, I thought immediately to the notion of "nudging" through vocabulary.
Quite the same with the insanity of "reparations" as we've been watching in California, in which there isn't enough money in the state budget to meet the "needs" of the whole lunacy.
The problem is correctly called the "free rider problem" in economics as in philosophy.

Little by little we have been edged into this. It’s working and convenient now, so people aren’t concerned. People trust. Then comes the day you insert your card and up on the screen it says “declined.” What are you going to do?
This new currency is just numbers on a screen.
It’s not the banks...
Cash just isn’t needed any more.
So, others who CHOOSE differently than you do shall be deprived of the CHOICE to use it?
No of course not
I merely wanted to make the point that in actuality, America is a cashless society for many people.
It is my belief that the transition to no cash at all is not in the near or future.
The gov’t will know every thing you buy but will keep missing the millions in bribes the politicians are getting.
