    That’s because we live in different countries. Judging by you saying FCU, presumably meaning Fan Control Unit or United States Federal Credit Union, you live in the United States.

    I do not live in the United States. In the rest of the world, and especially Western Europe and the UK - where I live - cashless is very common if not the default.

    Again, outside of the United States (1 country), banks tend to work like how I described, so there isn’t a bank that “doesn’t do that stuff”, and not only are most business cashless, there are even fairly common card payment machines at businesses that do not take chip and pin (or swipe, but they basically never did that, that’s just an American thing), only contactless is an option.

      Then I would have some real issues living outside the USA. I believe in using cash, and I probably wouldn’t keep a bank account if I had to go through all that nonsense.
