I love the convenience of cashless.
Don't even carry a wallet these days. All cards on my phone.
Banking all done on an app.
Click & go.
None of that dirty cash to worry about.

How much do the banks or eftpos providers charge you for using the cards?I love the convenience of cashless.

I had to use my debit card the other day and had to pay 1.9% surcharge.
Stick it in the EfTPOS machine and use your savings account with PIN. They can all do it when pressed. Cost of living crisis yet see everyone tapping at Aldi and paying a surcharge.
I had to send payment to another city. Otherwise that’s what I normally do.
Inconvenient. Pretty much same as if someone steals your wallet. Just use a spare old phone if needed.
True, I don't carry any wallet around, but for a phone, it's more someone hacking in (ala Optus) that worries me, along with no WiFi signal, outages, battery running out. Too risky for me and admittedly, I barely carry my phone around either.
I was issued with a phone quite some years back for health reasons but now use it quite extensively as one has to keep up with the modern trends. I have acquaintance's my age who proudly boast they have no mobile but their missus has & they rely on that to bank etc etc .
The bank get you everywhere you look unless you keep your cash stashed in a cookie jar.
Like everyone else they're in the business of making money.
I'm happy to pay for the convenience & security my bank provides.
Actually, it's safer than if someone steals your wallet. Provided you have even basic security on your phone, it won't be easy for someone stealing it to unlock it and start using your cards.
Lose your wallet and whatever cash and cards are there to be abused until you realise and cancel them.
Disagree, unless you have biometrics on your computer. Having tried most Aussie banks recently, the level of security they provide is all over the place. The big 4 seem to be at the minimum regulatory standards. The best bank for inline security I've found is Macquarie Bank.
All I know is I have 2 factor authorisation on the PC and the second factor is a number generator from the bank. You can't hack the little number generator, it ain't connected to anything online.
