ATMS ANZ in West Auckland! Disappearing Faster In The Blink of An Eye!

Matt from Henderson

Hi everyone, Matt here. I want to know everyone's opinion on this matter as well. I am a ANZ customer. Has anyone seen around the West Auckland area, especially around Swanson Area that there is no ANZ ATM machines anywhere to be seen. I used to go the Swanson Rd to get money out of the machine. Now when you go there, the machine is no longer available. Look I understand in years ahead, we all will live in a cashless society where everything you pay will now be done on a smartphone. But there I'm sure will be flaws with this as well.

The only viable ATM ANZ machines are on Lincoln Rd or in Henderson. This is just getting harder for anyone to get money out of any machine. Well if I mean ANZ are going to get rid of the ATM machines, they will have to put something in to replace the machines or put another pay wave machine for ordinary ATM cards as well.

Yes there are currently paywave machines in NZ. I think these are only for credit card and debit cards only I think but for the ordinary ATM cards, these won't work.

Are there other ANZ customers like myself who have had ATM issues just finding a ANZ ATM machine in your local area just to get cash out from your local machine?

Very frustrated.

Matt

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???

Markus from Green Bay

“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.

On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.

[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.

Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.

Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.
