Close your account, withdraw your £6 and open a new bank account elsewhere.

I do not have pity for banks, but customers moaning about small things in life and trying to claim money over laughable claims gets tiring.

No, I do not work in a bank.

Who said I was trying to claim money??? I am pointing out a problem with the banking system, which clearly discriminates against poorer people.

What if you only have £6?

Lots of times I've had to go in to various different banks I've used and said 'please can I withdraw my £6/£3/£1.80' and they've always let me do it, whether I've had a bad day and gone in looking like a homeless person or I've just been normal.

I think it's a bit bizarre, tbh. I'd switch to Natwest. I did, and They are great

Can you please answer my question. Why did you not/could not, pay on card at the Post Office?

Cards can be used in almost all shops and places, so you cannot give the excuse that they are against the poor.

I have reported this thread for spam due to the fact you clearly are a total buffoon.

If my bank can change their procedures, with the excuse of convienience, who is to say that the Post Office doesn't take the same road of action? Then where do we go?

It is not the bank's convienience the reason as to why. It's the customer's. They complain queues are too long.

Troll, you cannot beat me.

There are things you can't use cards for.

Bus tickets, for instance, or if you're saddled with a visa electron card, you could use that hardly anywhere when I had one!

Cards can be used in MOST shops and places, though sometimes have a minimun spend or attached charge. I am sorry that this topic enrages you, however there is no need to become abusive!

Thats why there are other banks who give our Visa Debit cards their most basic card, example, Lloyds.

I don't know of any that do not take card. The only place I know with a minimum spend is my uni shop. You are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. You should spend your time more wisely. Goodbye

I don't know why I seemed to get told off :rotfl:

I only said that I had needed to withdraw small amounts of cash before because I needed it for bus tickets etc.

Maybe the OP has lost some perspective but I think I would have been annoyed too, like when I went into barclays to check the balance in an account I'd forgotten the card for only to discover that they were using the pinsentry machines like you get for online banking at home and refused to do anything without a card even though I had ID and have previously done this in branch hundreds of times before and I know the staff recongise me :eek:

Them 'we can't check the balance without the card'

me 'so i might as well just go home and do it myself'

them: 'yes'

hmmmmm.
