I always have a little cash on me normally. When I'm at Disney, I always have enough cash to cover a meal if the magicband system goes down. And it has many times.
But doesn't the teller need to see your client card (aka debit/ATM). Or how do they get your account information?
If I go to a teller they ask for my client/ATM/debit card and you swipe(or insert) and they bring up your account.
You write your account number on the withdrawal/deposit slip. At least that's how it worked years ago when I had to cash in and deposit some savings bonds into my checking account.
I remember doing that pre-1990s. So people carry around a bank book with their account number rather than a bank card?
Well you leave something new everyday. Wonder how common this is in Canada? Any Canadians not have a ATM card?
I don't understand this. Up here your debit card = ATM card = bank card. Without a debit card how do you access a ATM? I'm not certain it's even possible to have a bank account without a bank/debit card in Canada. I'm 50 and have had a bank card since the mid to late 80s. Bank card also become debit card since early 90's.
So are bank/ATM cards different than a debit card in the USA?
Here you have one card - you give it to the teller to bring up your account, you swipe it as debit, you insert it in a ATM, use use the number on it to access your online/app account.
Haven't seen a checkbook in well over a decade.
