So you keep your money hidden in a sock under the mattress?
Irrelevant where its kept, but it's there when I want it.
Only this week I went to my branch, met the pleasant lady standing directing people to the machines, I declined her invitation as I always do and insisted in having a cashier deal with my query.
Asked for €5000 in cash, waited until they went and got it and I left with it.... when its spent I will once again walk into a branch, decline the invitation to use the machines as I always do, and wait for the cashier and they will deal with my request as they always do. Have been doing that for years and will continue to do so.
I still retain my cheque book for large transactions & a Credit card I keep for ferry booking/plane tickets & booking things.
Old school? yes, but it works for me.
