What timescale do you forsee ?

50 years ?

Digital I would say atleast by 2030, some people say even sooner . The cash I would guess would follow within 5 years after. Not that I'm all up for going cashless. But I do believe the government's will make it worthless at some point

I don't see that.

Cashless won't be for many years.

All part of the ongoing conditioning and social engineering. Went into my local Lloyds a while back and it was all decked out in Pride propaganda. They need to have a word with themselves and decide if they're a high st bank, or some kind of social services outreach department.

Do you check out all your service outlets to see what causes they support?
Or is it just some causes that you tend to notice and take to social media to complain about?

As this year’s Pride events take place across the nation, Lloyds Banking Group continues to show its support for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT+) community.

You might see it as "conditioning and social engineering" others see it as promoting tolerance and understanding.

Thatcasinochick is the spanner. Talking balls. Used to work for Lloyds up until 1995. Those days you could have as much cash as you wanted as long as you had enough in your account and we had sufficient in the safe. Could be ordered in if more needed. Same with deposits, there was no limit for cash deposits and no rules about reporting anything.

UK Government have continued to introduce Banking restrictions to reduce the number of victims falling prey to scammers.
Is that so bad?

This was in the days before we invited the world's crooks and chancers to pitch up in UK and do what they want. Those days you knew your customers and things were less transient. That personal service is largely dead.

Ah, the good ole days, when youy could leave your door unlocked, and people would walk into each others houses.

I know of people in their 60's and 70's who prefer cash because they're not sufficently tech savvy to trust (or even operate) online banking.
They end up relying on others to operate their online banking for them which increases the risk of scamming.

Commodore PET,

That's before my time

These things were introduced around 60 years ago.

It was incredibly powerful, some of them had as much as 1 MB of memory.

It could have swappable hard drives of 29MB each! With a 310 kB/s transfer rate!

Another one unable to comprehend what others write. Firstly, where did I say the restrictions are bad?

Secondly, the limits were brought in to prevent money laundering. Same as the enhanced source of funds checks for property conveyancing.

Please check your facts before commenting further.

You didn't explicitly say the restrictions were bad, but you certainly implied that.

Yes, the restrictions were for money laundering detection and to prevent scammers.
