I can't stand those designs by techies, do it well and they wouldn't know the difference. Naturally if they haven't got a Scooby about how much money there is in their bankaccount(s) then we another challenge, but their is always power of attorney.
I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand. I makes sense to get these things in place whilst not an imbecile, likewise with moving the assets into trust etc....

they can handle this change as well.

Have you never seen the Matrix?
Just wonder whenAnd TBH I think thats the way its heading, look at all the rules that are slowly being put in place to stop money laundering,
No money no need for that, that'll put a government dept. out of a job too
Shh, but do you know any good onesDon't worry, there will be alternatives

And the excuse at the time IIRC was that it was "too small"
And with a debit card you would have had the 0.01 pound on you. Or not but then you have different issues.
