Cashline cards

Weird. I used to have a Cashline card with RBS (but 80s) but it just for getting money from an ATM. Don't think it was ever kept/returned to me or only allowed me a specific amount.

Maybe it was a very early version before they became more common?

I never banked with RBS but Natwest offered a similar service in the late 70s. I don't think theirs was called Cashline but can't for the life of me remember what it was called. Cashcard, possibly? I don't think you had to even enter a PIN, the machine simply swallowed your card and coughed out £10 in a transparent envelope ‐ usually a single note.

There were quite a few machines in the City of London where I worked at the time but only one within reasonable distance of where I lived.

Scribbles this sounds very much like the Cashline card. I’m glad somebody else remembers it. I also remember getting a credit card, called Access, which I didn’t apply for.

Scribbles — ah, yes, Access, your flexible friend ?

My OH, while he was still my fiancé, received one of those unsolicited Access cards, too, Daddima. The notion of using a credit card had never occurred to him and it sat unused in his wallet for about 6 months before he, very daringly, used it to buy me a Christmas present!

That was some money to have access to in 1972. I earned £14 p.w. then for full time work!

We married in 1973, and the Bodach’s wage as an electrician was £35!
