I am well aware that I can pay the cheque/cash into another bank and, thankfully, can do so quite easily where I live but you seemed to be under the impression that internet banking solved everyone's need to deal with a bank in person and I was just showing that it doesn't. 
When I was working in the restoration field the antique dealers I dealt with seemed to assume everyone was part of the black economy and would have cringed if I had asked for anything but cash. It's all a case of horses for courses but the banks are trying to reduce the number of options we have access to. |
Sorry if I gave that impression, it was not intended.
I was, however, just trying to point out that a lot of the transactions we used to carry out in branches, no longer needs to happen. It is unfortunate that the banks don't seem to point this out very often and when they do, they don't explain it very well.
