Tried to withdraw money from a Bankwest ATM and the ATM refused to recognise my PIN. after two attempts, I cancelled the transaction and went into the branch.
ReplyDeleteThey checked and said it was ok, tried again and the money came out. One day later, no money is missing from my account.. maybe I can believe what the bankwest branch said, that the ATM just has some bugs in it and isnt skimming my card.
