My former employer was an ATM pioneer so I've been using them for 40+ years. Never had a problem. My former employer was the original atm supplier. Have never had a real problem with the debit card. Only one I remember was coming back from Oroville and went to get gas. Credit card had been suspended as the hotel I stayed at, Indian casino, clerks had tried to charge a bunch of stuff online. Citi notified me. I hint the card reader on the gas pump was funky and could not read card. So the reason I always carry CASH! |

They had to cover all the fees, etc. after threatening a lawsuit when they were going to blow it off. Changed bank to the one I now have used for maybe 30 years. I do have another bank account in a separate bank, I inherited. Nice to have a 2nd debit card while traveling if one gets stolen. |

I would not get $50’s. They were harder to pass than $100’s. I use $20. I pay cash at small stores so they actually make a profit. Friends own a donut shop. People will put a $2 purchase on a card. That costs the store $0.25-35 minimum. They do have a $5 minimum, but ignore most the time. |

It makes it too hard to fire them if they **** you off. With multiple banks you also have a better chance of finding an ATM nearby that doesn't charge you $4 to get a $20. I've used an ATM only once in my life. That was in Holland when I needed some Euros. -- === How do you get cash here in the states? My former employer was an ATM pioneer so I've been using them for 40+ years. Never had a problem. My branch is only a mile or so away. About once every six months I get a couple thousand in 50's. I use cash very seldom. Grandkids and the cleaning girl mostly. If I buy a potato at Safeway, it goes on the credit card. My bank has a reward system - 2% for everything. -- Freedom Isn't Free! I would not get $50’s. They were harder to pass than $100’s. I use $20. I pay cash at small stores so they actually make a profit. Friends own a donut shop. People will put a $2 purchase on a card. That costs the store $0.25-35 minimum. They do have a $5 minimum, but ignore most the time. The $50s go to the grandkids and the maid. They love 'em. -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

I don't really deal with my banks that much and I usually just go there when I do. That ends up being a few times a year. If nothing else, it is not worth having 4 or 5 more passwords to remember.

I've used an ATM only once in my life. That was in Holland when I needed some Euros. I don't carry a lot of cash so I end up at ATMs fairly often but not as much as I used to when I traveled a lot. It was lucky that one of my banks had a partnership with a New Zealand bank. I used their ATM a lot. It was free except for the foreign exchange charge of a couple percent that you pay anyway. It was more on a credit card transaction. |

When you get out west in the boonies, bank options are more limited. |

Banks have evolved some very secure systems for online banking. I don't remember hearing or reading about someone's account being "hacked" due to the account being compromised. ATM cards and credit cards yes ... but not the secure online banking systems. A couple of weeks ago I used my old Win 7 laptop to log onto my account at the bank I use most often.Â* I hadn't used it to access to the account for quite a while. It wouldn't let me in at first because it didn't recognize the computer.Â* They sent a code to my cell phone number on record that I had to enter in order to gain access. That will also happen after a routine Windows update. |
