ANZ has announced staff will no ‘longer handle cash’ at several of its branches in a move that has outraged customers.
Australians banking with the major bank claimed they were unable to make deposits or withdrawals of coins and $5 notes in some branches.
One customer claimed their local bank no longer accepted coins through tellers and has since placed a limit on the number of notes that can be deposited.
The ANZ customer, who wished to remain anonymous, said they were told their local branch no longer dealt with $5 notes or coins.
They were advised to go to another branch to get the $1 and $2 coins they needed.
‘As a not-for-profit we take our receipts to deposit them into our account every month – and we do get lots of $5 notes,’ the customer told news.com.au.
‘Let’s hope other banks won’t follow suit.’

More to come.
