Free-to-use Link ATMs across the UK at risk of being closed down - The Guardian

Really? Some people pay extra for cold coffee.

I’m glad that this thread got bumped. It’s a useful reminder as to how responsive Monzo is to customer requests. Two years ago people were asking for cash withdrawals at Post Offices.

Harsh. There’s no requirement that Monzo do what people want just because they want it and that’s true of any business out there.

Am I the only one who heard this in the French voice from Spongebob?

Maybe a bit harsh in the wording. The point I was trying to make was that a lot of people on the forum of late seem to think that if enough people want something, then Monzo will implement it.

As you say, there’s no requirement on Monzo to do any such thing, I was pointing out that, often, they don’t. :+1:

Sorry for bumping this older thread, but the search of 2019 and 2020 did not throw up anything closer:

Three interesting tidbits in this BBC News story:

They are operated by Bank of Ireland, which is pulling out of the business*

Presumably related to:

The Post Office will also become a member of the Link ATM network.

What benefits does that offer at this stage? Been stuck mainly without Link for a few years anyway

But going cashless also has benefits, said Amy Gavin from fintech consultancy 11:FS. ā€œElectronic payments are faster, some feel safer not carrying cash around, and electronic payments can also help consumers with budgeting.ā€

Not seen 11:FS quoted in news articles before. Tough year for them as well, but pleased to see

Monzo and Starling are not even members of the link network.

Link charges more interchange than MC/Cirrus so why do the big banks use it?

(Just noticed age of thread sorry)

No apologies necessary as I myself bumped it for lack of better match, but interesting to see here that this is a partial reverse of the original post
