So I was listening to BBC Radio 4 today and was pleased to hear that there are going to be 600 more free ATMs in areas that currently don't have access to them. Here is a government press release.
A representative from the banking industry was on hand to 'big up' the efforts being made by the 'working group' of banks to give these people access to their own money.Now lets get this straight. These people are being given access to their own money! Why, can I ask, do they not have access to their own money already? The banks in their drives to make more money closed the local branches!
I'm glad that this working committee has decided to forgo some of their profits in order to help people... or provide a basic service that society requires of them. I'm glad that they are making money and employing people and helping businesses start and paying share holders and of course making money. I don't deny their right to make money. I DO however deny them the right to make publicity from them offering ATMs where they once offered branches.
