Banks want the element of control in our lives.
They want us to ditch cash because cash is anonymous...so your spending cannot be targeted by those who would influence you or try to influence you.
I have had to accept internet banking as my local bank has closed. It transferred all its customers to Blackburn...then the Blackburn branch closed too.

Now If I want to do something that needs a face to face consultation I have to go to Preston.
I do not use my debit card for shopping I use cash.
yes I have to use my card to get cash from the ATM but I check my account after every one of these withdrawals.
