1. How much cash do you want? 2. $x00 3. Done.
There have been some developments in this direction, but they're the exception rather than the rule.
To a non-American, in Asia, in 2020, particularly if under the age of 30, it is not a strange question to ask "What the hell is a checking account, anyway?"
- TurkTurkleton 6y agoAh, right. It's so rare that removal of functionality is seen as a positive that I wasn't thinking in that direction, but yeah, that would be a definite improvement. I have seen ATMs here in the US that have quick withdrawal options directly on the main menu, but it's usually just one or two preset amounts, and usually from your checking account (since it's still relatively commonplace to have both a savings and a checking account).
