    Default Who would NOT use a bank given the choice?

    Ok, so we all know that banks stall, send other peoples personal information to other customers, have been acting unlawfully for years, have no respect for their customers, etc...etc...

    Now the banks are claiming that the end of 'Free Bankingicon' is coming if they are no longer 'allowed' to make these charges, should the choice of how employees are paid be given back to the employee rather than be forced to take a paid 'service'? - the service being allowing the bank to have your money to earn more money from.

    So, if there was a change in the law that enabled employees to choose how they were paid, which way would you decide upon?

    Hello Dave, i have just voted for cash,nice and simple.

    After the bank action/claims have taken place.If i tell my employer that i no longer have a bank account and i am unable to get one(not true) would they be forced to change the way they pay me in future?

    I took the other option - the way it is!!

    I much prefer handling cash myself, so it was a blessing in disguise when I had to switch to a Basic bank account some time back, but as far as a company issuing wages is concerned, I would not like to see a return to the days of large cash deliveries in secure vans in order to pay staff - it's costly and open to other obvious dangers.

    Not such a problem for very small firms, but mid or large sized ones would be met with much larger operating costs.

    ...aaahhh...but you mention elsewhere that they would be honest thieves, and at least they don't pretend that they aren't stealing your money...unlike some other professions who claim it is all our own fault...

    True, true.

    Seriously, I would rather keep it in a shoebox - obviously my youngest daughters shoebox - I don't earn the sort of money that would fill a 'man-size' shoebox!!

    Me too.

    The banks are trying to woo people with the amount of interesticon they can earn on their account/savings.

    Most people i know cant afford to save and i probably earn pence in a year interest.
    The only time my money stays in the bank is when i loose my cashcard.

    Cash too!

    You realise the value of money when you get your wages in cash, and if feels worse when you buy something with cash as you have to hand over the notes instead of just paying by card...

    I never use my Bank account anymore, and everything gets paid into my OH account, so I always use cash now, and its made a big difference!
