The cashpoint is exposed on three sides. A year or more ago, I had my card taken by a man who grabbed it after he learnt over and pressed a reject button. This was so quickly done that he got away and took ?250 out at another cashpoint. There is sign there now warning that criminals operate there. Last week, I needed some cash for my disabled mother, so queued inside the bank to avoid the problem.Her card was rejected and I was told that they only accept their own cards.

Wil is saying that the ATM inside the bank does not accept other banks' cards.


I think!

The post office a couple of doors down accepts most bank cards. I've used Natwest and Barclays in there to withdraw cash.


I think the reason why the internal banking machines don't accept rival cards is that it offers the majority of counter services that are provided by the bank for their own customers.


As an aside, those machines at Barclays are really good and there's usually someone helpful to guide you to use them.

As a Barclays customer who does chose to use the inside Cashpoint I must say that the reduced opening hours of the branch make it pretty inconvenient, added to which there have on occasion been long queues inside as well.

From memory I think only two of the 3 self service machines inside allow withdrawal of cash.

    • A pretty awful incident.  Thankfully from my time in London fairly rare.  There was a time, particularly in North London in the 00s when moped gangs would come up behind cyclists and grab their bags.  There were also scare stories about riders being pushed off at the top of the hill and the bike grabbed, or cyclists being pushed into a canal such as the Grand Union.  I think these were very exaggerated. In recent times, cyclists, in particularly women, have been mugged, on cycle routes when other riders are not around, such as Deptford/Millwall  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm27x5klxxlo But I expect that crimes involving threats/violence by criminals against cyclists are less likely than in other areas of life.  Mobile phone theft being one of the obvious examples.  I was told many years ago following a burglary that criminals would rather not have any contact with their victims, and bike theft would sound to be less risky to them by stealing locked up bikes (far too common) rather than attacking the rider.  The spate of thefts from builders vans in broad daylight knocks this a little on the head, as the criminals are often confronted. @Rockets as a regular cyclist in the past did you experience threats etc?  My worse experiences were being knocked off by dangerous drivers, once being left for dead in a hit and run, and road rage where drivers chased me or threatened me after they had passed to close, turned across me etc.  You learn from this and do your best to avoid such conflict.  
    • Whilst I am not sure if this is appropriate to this case, I know that often people from minority groups don't feel safe with the police and there have been many incidents where people from minority groups have been mistreated, beaten etc, just for being.   
    • It certainly was😁 Bob S
