Does this mean the intention for the current accounts is that we will be able to use the Post Office to withdraw cash? If so, great news! Would be good to know what the cost implication is for , though, as I do try to use the lowest-cost option if withdrawing cash (my understanding is that bank ATMs are cheaper than third-party, e.g. CashZone, ones).
I work for one of the big four supermarkets and was fascinated to find out the difference between costs and commissions for various forms of cash withdrawal, having never even occurred to me that they’d be rated differently. The logic that restricting cash-back amounts at the tills and preventing self-checkouts from issuing it increases the amount of revenue we get through our cashpoints.
I just popped to the post office on my lunch. It didn’t work either,both with the mag stripe or the chip machine. The lady working there loved the card colour though!
I used an automated petrol station pay at pump called Go. The initial transaction tracked at £1 but no sign of the £48 actual cost showing up yet (4 hours later).
Received a debit card last night at the Android event, and was going to participate in this, but was disappointed to find out it’s not one of these 2nd gen cards. In case it is useful I tried lyft just now and registration worked fine with a 1st gen card including the active card check.
What’s the difference between 1st gen and 2nd gen cards apart from the aesthetic changes?
