ATM

I find it really amusing how the ATM deposit service works here in Aus.
Well, the same random stuff you click and enter to enable the 'deposit' service.
But what's really interesting is how the ATM will spit out an envelope for you to put in your notes of any denomination. And then this 'hole' will open in the machine, and you drop the envelope in.


You might then ask how the money gets into your account. Heh, it takes 1 working day to process it, when at the end of the day after the bank closes, people from the bank will come and collect the envelopes, bring it back to the main branch, count the money, and then you'll get your money credited to your account.

So if you deposit your money today, you'll only get it on Monday.


See, I do miss Singapore okay. Just drop your cash into the cash deposit machine, and it gets credited immediately.


Not like some dubious-looking ATM here.


Because its easier to use a card
