It would appear Australia is one step closer to embracing a cashless society after Macquarie Bank announced plans to scrap cash transactions across all of its branches.
The fifth-largest bank in Australia revealed they will be dropping cash, cheque, and phone payment services from 2024 with payments to be conducted entirely digitally and all cash withdrawals to take place entirely at ATMs from November 2024.
“Between January 2024 and November 2024, we’ll be phasing out our cash and cheque services across all Macquarie banking and wealth management products, including pension and super accounts,” Macquarie Bank said in a statement.
“Customers can continue to withdraw cash from their transaction account via ATMs across Australia and overseas without fees. However, cash deposits and branch withdrawals will no longer be available.
“This means from November 2024 we’ll no longer offer cash or cheque services. Instead, you’ll be able to make payments digitally — a safer, quicker, and more convenient way to bank.”
The move was quickly met with condemnation from members of the public who hold strongly to the view that “cash is king”.

Preview of how they will do it here. The government will issue a secret order to banks to stop accepting cash, and voila cash will become illegal, without any legislation or Supreme Court review.
THEY WANT CONTROL OF YOU
I recently passed through Austin TX airport and bought dinner at ‘Salt Lick BBQ’ which served am undersmoked brisket that had an ridiculously overly sugary sauce dumped on it. I was told I could not use cash and had to pay by card.
Do they have local credit unions or smaller banks?
The only way to hurt these clowns is to hurt them in the wallet. That's all they understand. That's why they allow crime to go unpunished because cash is fungible and if it's 'dangerous" to carry, store or deposit cash... then "digital is safer"...
It's all part of the same bullsh#t to control us.
