Surely you must be in the minority these days Christos? I can manage a whole week with online transactions or contactless payments and as for stuff going in, never see it before it goes into my account.

"Sorry to ask this but would the banks be open today ??"

It's a bank holiday today which means the banks take a holiday so to answer your question, no there are no banks open today.

There are however cash machines availble for use should you require to take money out of your account. Some of these now allow you to deposit cash and cheques as well.

And of course there is also online banking.

Hope this helps.

"To be fair though, in today's modern age, why do the banks need to close? "

That is actually a good question, but more and more branches are closing and online banking is not for everyone, especially the older population. Some people do still pay cash in, but it's a minority. Having worked in banking for many years and involved in branch closures, the banks don't think about these customers, it's all about profits and keeping shareholders happy.

I hope its not in a bag under your mattress. Anyway you can't deposit cash using online - the notes won't fit in the DVD drive.

I use online banking and my account is so hard to get into I'm surprised they don't ask for a blood and saliva sample every time I log on. Its great to be able to manage my money when I am abroad.

Many people don't trust on line banking(good program on bbc 1 at moment, about scams). But on the whole, it is safe as long as you are vigilant and don't give out personal details. The thing is with large amounts of cash, you have to be careful that there are no forgeries, have seen this many times.

Ok, that explains it But very few people use large amounts of cash today. When I was still in banking, if people were paying large amounts of cash in, they would be interviewed by a senior member of staff. I know it sounds odd, but money laundering was rife then and I'm sure it still is.

There have been studies done that show people who do what you do spend their money more responsibly than people who use their cards for every transaction, as they don't equate paying with cards as actually paying money. Contactless makes spending even easier.

i never for a moment thought banks introduced theses systems for our convenience...a bank is a business like any other and their aim is to make a profit so anything to make spending that much easier works for them i guess, sold to us under the guise of convenient banking designed for the customer.

i never understood the need for a third party to have anything to do with my money anyhow...i do a job for someone then who the hell are the banks? why does the transaction between me and the person who owes me money need to involve this third party anyhow? what do they do for me? they hold my money and make a profit of investing it but who are they? why do i need to involve them in my affairs? it's a needless link in the chain i don't get or understand.

Not a lot of choice if someone insists on paying you cash. He had been waiting for some time for payment, he wasn't likely to turn it down. We could be bodyguards for him, for a small fee

I appreciate what you're saying, I know a lot of people deal in cash, still. Unfortunately the town we bank in has a high incidence of pick pockets and muggings, sad but true, if someone nicks your cash, it's gone, if someone nicks your bank card, you can cancel it. I'm sure he'll be fine.

it's probably an out dated way of thinking really but it's always worked nicely for me so far so it's what i know i guess. the only time i've had problems accessing my money has been thanks to banks so i'm more mis trusting of them than i am of my own ability to look after money. i suppose that's just the sum total of my own experience but it's done me ok thus far and i doubt i'll change much!

That's great Christos. It's whatever works for the individual. Older people(obviously not you!) are the worst 'offenders', my dad being one of them, he is 88 and insists on drawing cash rather than using his card. He is obviously vulnerable at his age and in a town where we have these problems, but I'm not going to change him now. I suppose it will take a nasty incident, God forbid, for him to realise . Sound like I'm preaching, sorry, but I have seen the fallout from people having bad experiences, using cash. Must learn to switch off, have been retired for some years now

most of my money moves about in cash, never been a problem for me i dare say he hasn't got it hanging out of his top pocket while he's wonders about looking for a bank either...i'm sure he's safe enough

I appreciate what you're saying, I know a lot of people deal in cash, still. Unfortunately the town we bank in has a high incidence of pick pockets and muggings, sad but true, if someone nicks your cash, it's gone, if someone nicks your bank card, you can cancel it. I'm sure he'll be fine.

it's probably an out dated way of thinking really but it's always worked nicely for me so far so it's what i know i guess. the only time i've had problems accessing my money has been thanks to banks so i'm more mis trusting of them than i am of my own ability to look after money. i suppose that's just the sum total of my own experience but it's done me ok thus far and i doubt i'll change much!

That's great Christos. It's whatever works for the individual. Older people(obviously not you!) are the worst 'offenders', my dad being one of them, he is 88 and insists on drawing cash rather than using his card. He is obviously vulnerable at his age and in a town where we have these problems, but I'm not going to change him now. I suppose it will take a nasty incident, God forbid, for him to realise . Sound like I'm preaching, sorry, but I have seen the fallout from people having bad experiences, using cash. Must learn to switch off, have been retired for some years now "

and relax! yeah i see where your coming from, and shit does indeed happen but i dunno, i still trust myself more...i've proven myself to me, the bank hasn't if that makes sense? i'm stubborn is what i'm saying

"I don't do online banking I don't trust it and I want to deposit 3 grand but ill wait till tomorrow morning then.

Doesn't sound dodgy at all lol

I finally got paid yesterday from a client after doing alot of work for him and he paid me in cash !

I'm not sure that's making it sound better

Some people still use cash, believe it or not

indeed...cash whenever possible ta very much

And absolutely nothing wrong with that,but with the OP, walking about with that amount of cash isn't the best idea.

Yes, it does make sense. There are many people in my experience, who haven't had good relationships, with their banks, I've been on the end of it, so I know! No, you are not stubborn, you are doing what works for you and you are aware of the risks, it's just that some people aren't and they're the ones who can come unstuck!

In hind sight, it was a good and valid question, I too would question, in this day and age, why they're not open all the time. It is a time when some people are off work and so a time when banks could profit from customers wanting to purchase products from them!

Yes, but in hind sight, I can appreciate the OP's dilemma. Interesting thread for me, though, seeing the other side of things!
