Re: I just want my cash

Well, at my bank for these so called perks you would have to be paying £13 a month.
It isn't worth it to me. I don't want or need travel insurance, or breakdown cover......discount in shops is only worth anything if you use those shops.
I have to go into the branch regularly as I am the authorised agent on my mothers account...so, known to the tellers and the manager who helped me set up the authority.

What hacks me off the most is that they ask what the money is being used for. It makes me feel like a ten year old, having to justify how I spend my pocket money.

They get their sticky fingers on a share...it is the tax they take on any(however small it might be) interest accrued by the account.

How you think a answer like 3male escorts,drugs,beer and I might give the rest to charity would go down?

Re: I just want my cash

It is true...whoever controls the money controls everything...politics, governments anything you can think of.

I am not envious of wealth and riches. All I want is to be able to make ends meet. Not to have to rely on anyone.
All my working life I have strived to ensure that I would have enough for my needs in my later years.
If you had asked me then what advice I would give.....I would have said save......it is no good having time on your hands but no money to be able to do something you enjoy in that time.
If you asked me now, I would say spend what you have on making memories, but don't go into debt.
The elderly people of most countries are without any value.

Re: I just want my cash

Banks .... No thanks ... I put my few bucks in the Kingston Community Credit Union. Credit unions are much more people friendly. Never had a problem.
However, I think I'm with Neil on this one. It may seem like an intrusive pain in the ass to be asked why you want your money; but they are only looking after your and their interests (nice accidental pun, eh) ... and you can always answer: "It's none of your [deleted] business, asshole. Just give me my goddam money."

I don't quite see how them knowing what I am doing with MY money is looking after my interests.
And as I have outlined before...why the need for photo ID when they see me every week and know who I am?
Heck when I go to the counter they call me by my christian name. You don't do that unless you know someone.

Re: I just want my cash

What really brasses me off is fact i used to live in Spain n had a bank account in Gibraltar, When i moved back to U.K. i used to transfer money (quite a few K) from Gib to me local branch, to pay fer Hols n other stuff, Now as i see this excuse fer Money Laundering could quite easily n justly come into play!! Did It? did it hell as like,i was never asked, perhaps cos the money was going in the bank in accy?? So how they or anyone can claim its looking after my interests,can go suck eggs, its utter crap.

Re: I just want my cash

I don't think there's as many (if any) questions when you deposit large amounts of cash (I may be wrong tho),I'm not lucky enough to have been in that position

Well, yes there are. I cashed a burial policy early last year(I figured that if I hadn't enough money in the bank when I die they can leave me on the top for the crows to pick at) and I was asked for proof of where the money came from...even though it was a cheque with the Insurance companies details on it.

Yorkshire Bank.
When I asked why they wanted to know where the money was from, they cited money laundering as the reason.
