This March 31, 2023 article by Danyal Hussain for Daily Mail reveals the impending plan of the ANZ to stop customers from withdrawing money over the counter. ANZ, one of the biggest banks in Australia, says that only certain branches will be affected by this change and that customers will still be able to withdraw money via ATM.

ANZ insists that the majority of its customers now prefer digital banking and electronic payments and only 8% rely on cash.

The report says that bank branches across Australia have fallen by 30% compared to the last five years and ATMs have decreased even more.
