AIB going cashless around Kerry.

I don't pay anything for revolut. I only use it to keep track of monthly discretionary spending amd sending money to people on nights out etc. I've free banking with PTSB.

Revolut was revolutionary when it first came out. FX rates well above your standard amazon rate, free fx cash withdrawals etc.

But in the last few years since its popularity has increased its much less so.

The only thing it does is instant trf but that exists with standard banks as well, you just need to be in the same bank. Which of course is the same limitation revolut has.

My mortgage is not with PTSB.

There's no strings attached to my C/A with PTSB, it's just a standard C/A. A very old one but standard none the less.

It must be great to always be right!

perhaps others disagree with your stance, obviously those who feel being able to access their cash when they need to, are wrong.

seems to me only one with a sense of inflated self is yourself.

Went there about 4 years ago, I never even got to know what Icelandic money looks like.

brought some just encase, never used it, a truly stunning country, cant wait to return

...it really is time for a network of public banks, as this nonsense wont ever stop with our current lot!

What nonsense?

And who is going to pay for this magic public bank? Consumers do not want to pay bank charges, there is uproar any time charges are raised.

And our high mortgage interest rates are thanks to the clowns who won't pay their debts, blame everyone but themselves for their stupid over borrowing, but for some reason get celebrated as being a hero for getting one over on the bank when they are in fact hitting the normal citizen in their pocket.

RE I can think of dozens of ATMs near me in places like Spar, Centra, filling stations, super markets and other services like lodgment can be done at the post office, whats the big issue?

Use them at your peril, many are used for getting fake notes into the system by organised crime syndicates

As for the dozens, can you list them within walking distance of you?

Many used by organised crime? Conspiracy theory hogwash.

Do you not realise the truth of the "security features" of cash? All those metallic bits that are supposed to be to deter forgery are actually used to track movements of money. Most people know that the metal detectors in airports can tell how much money is brought through them, but in the last 20 years they've become able to associate the cash to people, firstly through facial recognition, but more easily with biometric passports and other RFID devices which we all carry.

Some people are then supposed to learn that most public buildings, using devices concealed in automatic doors, can do the same, along with various devices attached to the exterior of buildings that they don't even bother to hide since we just assume it's something to do with phones or the internet.

Anhone who believes that going cashless will give the world elites information on us that they don't already have is a sheep. They're just sick of the costs of producing and guarding cash. They'll pass that on to us by going cashless.

They probably never intended to do it, but just wanted to drum up some negative publicity to avoid gaining too many customers from Ulster Bank and KBC.
