How many times has this scenario been repeated and how many times has the same been reported in the papers. People have been mugged by thieves of the huge amount of money they were carrying with them. Some of them have even ended up loosing their lives in trying to ward off these thieves.
There was one era when one had to carry cash for their purchases and other stuff, but the same does no hold good nowadays. Thanks to the rapid strides taken by technology, especially electronic banking, people just do not need to carry extra cash around with them.
One needs to carry just the amount that is required for transportation charges and a bit more and that is all. After all if you are going to purchase something from the super market and the cash you require for the same is available from someone nearby the market, it makes no sense to lug around the money with you all the way from your home. That `someone nearby the market’ is the credit card terminal also known as ATM (automated teller machines) that one can see in every block.
Some blocks, especially those in commercial zones, have quite a number of these machines, which one can use to withdraw money from. The procedure is very simple and does not take more than a minute from the time you enter the room housing the terminal to the time you depart from the same with your cash.
All you have to do is to enter your credit card in a slot made for the purpose and follow onscreen instructions to log in to your account. There you can see the amount of money that you have and can withdraw.
Just punch in your secret PIN number on the terminal’s keypad and follow that by the amount of money you need to withdraw. In a few seconds the money will come out from the dispenser slot and you will be asked if you want to make any other transactions.
If you do not want to make any more transactions, then the machine will issue a print out. This print out, generally done by an inbuilt thermal printer which will have details of the transactions, carried out by you along with your opening and closing balance.
The machine then logs off and you can walk of safely with the cash. These machines are linked through the Internet to your bank and the amount, which you have withdrawn, will be debited from your account.
A small transaction fee will be added to the amount, which you have withdrawn and the same will be reflected in your bank statement. This is one of the safest ways to carry out financial transactions and the one that entails the least of risk. Most people use these machines to withdraw cash as and when required.
