Cash Withdrawals....
Having no ATM currently working in town is causing some people to worry. I would just like to say the following....
Cash withdrawals (and deposits) are able to be done at my Licensed Post Office in Casterton. We are able to do them for over 80 banks and financial institutions, including 3 of the big 4 banks. Unfortunayely ANZ chose not to come onboard with the other 3 to 'Bank @ Post' a few years back, so they are one of the exceptions at the moment. Depending on your own banks Australia Post limit, and your own personal card limit, you can withdraw up to $2000 per day from most cards... but we have to advise that you check with you bank if they will charge a fee to use us. Australia Post doesn't charge a fee themselves to withdraw or deposit cash.
We are only a bank agency. But we can do cash deposits, withdrawals and balances.... We do not have the ability to see any of your account details and can't do transfers of money unless you have a card for each account. We can't unfortunately deposit into another persons bank account on your behalf, you must have a physical card to use us, and not your phone...
But as a small business in our town, like others, we struggle at times, so we really appreciate people using us.... and no you are not bothering us to come and get some cash out, we need the business to pay the wages etc...
The new ATM will be up and running with cash in it soon enough, but for now, we can offer you another local option during business hours, Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm.... Thanks to everyone who has used us just recently and also our regular customers who have been using us for years... we really appreciate your support...
P.S. If there isn't at least 1 ATM up by next Saturday, I will open up on Saturday and possibly Sunday for a few hours for people to get money out...
