Stores to customers: "Cash not welcome here"

[w0nderer]

15. In Sweden you'd have to find a different bank too most likely

Most Swedish banks don't handle cash anymore aside from a third party ATM in the outside wall.
so no 'tech support' for the atm, and no instant refills in case it's been emptied


Just to mess with the poor, the banks have fees on debit cards in the range of $30+ yearly with no waivers (none of the 'maintain balance' or 'have loan here' or 'accept direct deposit here' or 'pay bills online with us'....speaking of, internet banking is also an extra fee for a lot of the services)

Sweden has taken what is bad in the US bank system(no interest on debit accounts, fees on merchants, fees on bank accounts), and what was bad in the Swedish system(no waivers on fees, fees on debit cards, no cash), and combined it to make a fantastically bad system that only benefits themselves

no interest
fee on merchant
fee on bank account
fee on debit card
no waivers
no cash

no cash handling except for large offices (as in a couple of hour drive sometimes) for companies either ...so keeping a register/cashbox stocked is difficult

force no cash, debit only...then charge for debit
win win and win for the bank
