Going cashless

[Blue Shirt]

I just looked through my records and realised that I last withdrew cash at an ATM on 31 Oct 2021.

I seem to have gone cashless without realising it.

If it were not for my wife, carguards and the like would starve. Even the parking attendants in Stellenbosch take card payments and vendors who don't have card machines will take SnapScan or equivalent. My occasional garden engineer is paid via EFT.

Does anyone else still handle cash?

Wow really Does anyone else not draw money?
I still draw money

I've been like this for a good few years myself. Ditto on my wife handling the cash. It's quite bizarre actually

It would be perfect for a Poll! I might be the only person who still draws money from the ATM.

Looking at this months bank balance, I'm about to go cashless too, albeit for differing reasons.

In China, I'm cashless - you use a phone to pay for everything. Always have issues coming back here for the first week or two back in the banking past, where I forget my wallet, and go oh fok, and can't pay.

You bank with capitec dont you?

What phone do you use? Ive been paying with my phone for some time now. I always forget my wallet.

snapscan is not really ubiquitous here, so phone payment is not an option at 80-90% of the places I shop at.

I've been cashless for two years now and recently I've also gone walletless because of the glorious Google Pay app for Android. Bless those angels for bringing that to this country.
I just take my phone or Garmin watch now and it handles everything.

My ultimate ambition would be to:
1) get a car that doesn't require a physical key
2) replace the locks at my home to smart locks that don't require a key
3) Automate gate and garage, maybe put a button in the car or something

If I can do that then my pockets will be free forever except for carrying a phone. One day.

Yeah just google "backwards banking" and Capitec will be right on top.

 

[PowerFactor]

I thought ABSA is the backwards banking bank.
