Disappearing Local Bank Branches One By One Happening Now - Ending Cash For Digital Control It's Game On

US Bank, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Citizen, Chase and PNC are shutting hundreds of branches a year

In the last 10 years, American banks have shuttered 13,000 branches for good

Banks are shutting hundreds of branches a year - this month [Jan. 2024] some 41 closures were announced in a single week and among those affected were nine US Bank locations.

Bank of America, Chase, PNC, Citizen, Capital One, First National Bank of Pennsylvania and Huntington also said they were axing branches.

Such closures deal a huge blow to customers looking to visit in person to submit a document, make a withdrawal or deposit, cash in a check or simply run through their finances with a trusted bank manager.

The Covid pandemic catalyzed the already-rapid uptake of online banking and although 2020 saw the sharpest decline in the number of branches, closures have continued.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Local bank branches slowly disappearing one by one. Becomes very inconvenient if a person has to drive across town or even further to find a bank. Obviously the intent. Less banks means less atm's around also.. make it harder to get that quick cash. Cash is of course 'the enemy' of the 'digital-everything' future the so-called powers-that-be (ptb) have envisioned for themselves*. Banks and cash apparently the strategy just keep removing until one day they are just a 'thing of the past'. February 2024 you are there..

Denmark Pushing Global Cashless Agenda: Businesses Allowed To Refuse Cash Starting 2016

Denmark Legislates Cashless Society

In a groundbreaking move, the Danish government has initiated a proposal that will allow selected retailers such as restaurants, clothing stores and gas stations to refuse payments in cash.

Exceptions would be made for grocery stores, post offices, prescription drug purchases, as well as doctors and dentists who would still have to accept cash as a payment method. The pre-election proposal, which is very likely to be approved by the Danish Parliament, would allow shops to simply say no to cash as early as January 2016

Danish customers have already moved away from metal and paper money. Almost a third of the population already uses a Danske Bank app called MobilePay which allows you to pay with a simple swipe on your smartphone’s screen- similarly to the slowly but steadily growing Google Wallet in the U.S. In this context, Denmark’s Central Bank decided last year that it would no longer print banknotes and coins.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Still a proposal at this point, but as pointed out in the above article, the Danish Central bank has already stopped printing new banknotes i.e physical paper money and stopped minting new coins, so the thing is obviously a done deal. With cash in hand no longer acceptable, the financial world suddenly becomes essentially an absolutely controlled and monitored system of digital credits. No cash-in-hand means personal autonomy i.e. freedom is something that no longer exists. Absolutely every transaction action tracked, every transaction in someone else's control. Virtual-money-only means the individual at that point is completely owned by the 'system'.

Refusing cash is a "groundbreaking move" says the Danish government....and they are going full speed ahead. Obviously a completely 'cashless' world is the dream of the novus ordo seclorum-ites, so take note, because that envelope is about to get not pushed but 'shoved' to the next level.

Chase Revamps Cash Deposit Rules to Ease Money-Laundering Risks

In a bid to close potential money laundering loopholes, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) tells FOX Business it is set to roll out a new policy that requires customers who want to make a cash deposit to show identification and be listed on the actual account.

It is believed that the New York-based financial giant would be the first big bank to enact such a change.

Chase tellers are expected to begin asking customers for ID when making cash deposits on February 1, but the policy is not expected to be strictly enforced until March 3, Chase told FOX Business.

“It’s an excellent idea. I guarantee other banks will follow suit very shortly -- if they’re smart,” said Annemarie McAvoy, a former federal prosecutor who now teaches anti-money laundering and counterterrorism at Fordham Law School.

“The hard thing with cash is you can’t tell where it’s coming from once it goes into an account,” said McAvoy.
--------------------------------------------------------
re: 'first big bank - guarantee other banks will follow'

While the reason offered for requiring identification to deposit cash in a Chase bank is "to close potential money laundering loopholes", that really is a very transparent excuse for what this new policy will in reality accomplish. Attaching a mandatory identification to cash deposits essentially transforms them into a digital transaction. It makes cash 'trackable'. Who what where did this cash come from Sir? How long before a form is required also, with all pertinent information so that everything is open to the prying eyes of Big Brother. All digital transactions already are - it is only cash that still remains non-controllable to the would-be 666 global-masters, and that just won't do. Sell a used car? Tell us about it. Doing some babysitting young lady? Tell us about it. In addition, the secondary requirement of being "listed on the actual account" will make it impossible to deposit cash into another person's account. Cash bad, bad bad cash, says Chase.

Cash is personal autonomy. There is only one reason to remove the autonomy of cash - which is exactly what Chase Bank has now begun to do - it is to establish draconian control over the personal lives of individuals. When cash is gone so is freedom. "Other banks will follow suit very shortly" says the Big Brother spokesperson quoted in the above article. No doubt this is true. Can't have their no-man-can-buy-or-sell cashless 666 digital-credit economic-control-system global dictatorship* unless all the 'Big Brother big banks' work together to phase out cash completely, now can they?

That digital-control-dictatorship system? - it just went to the next level. Very significant development in the scheme of things bible-prophecy related. Seeing the predicted cashless-global-economy 'coming true' before your eyes is seeing the nuts and bolts of "prophecy". Believe it or not, and believing is highly recommended, make note.  Rev. 18:4

Chase Bank Begins Move Toward Cashless Society - Will Limit Cash Transactions for Businesses

Chase Bank Limits Cash Withdrawals, Bans International Wire Transfers | infowars

Capital controls imposed on small business owners

Numerous business customers with Chase BusinessSelect Checking and Chase BusinessClassic accounts have received letters over the past week informing them that cash activity (both deposits and withdrawals) will be limited to a $50,000 total per statement cycle from November 17 onwards.

The letter reads;

Dear Business Customer,

Starting November 17, 2013:

- You will no longer be able to send international wire transfers. You will still be able to send domestic wires and receive both domestic and international wires. We’ll cancel any international wire transfers, including reccurring [sic] ones, you scheduled to be sent after this date.

- Your cash activity limit for these accounts(s) will be $50,000 per statement cycle, per account. Cash activity is the combined total of cash deposits made at branches, night drops and ATMs and cash withdrawals made at branches (including purchases of money orders) and ATMs.

These changes will help us more effectively manage the risks involved with these types of transactions.

Chase is obviously very keen to make it hard for their customers to have any kind of control over their savings and is trying to prevent them from sending dollars abroad, prompting concerns that Cyprus-style account gouging could occur in America.

The move to limit deposits and withdrawals while banning international wire transfers altogether is a bizarre policy and will cripple many small and medium-sized businesses with Chase accounts. Buying stock from abroad in any kind of quantity will now become impossible for many companies, while paying employees will also be a headache. Grocery stores or restaurants that turnover more than $50k a month will be unable to use their account.

Why has Chase announced such a ludicrous and restrictive policy change? Speculation is rife that the bank is preparing for some kind of economic crisis by “locking down” its customers’ money...Others fear the move to restrict international wire transfers is part of a plan to protect against a near-future collapse of the US dollar.

re: "cash activity limit"

The full article can be read at the above link. As the author of the article mentions in his comments there is a lot of speculation swirling around as to what exactly might be the intent behind such an action. All that speculation aside though, it seems that the probable intent may actually be fairly simple, and obvious. If businesses are to now be limited in monthly cash transactions this leaves them with only one solution - moving their business and customer base toward increased cashless transactions, i.e. smart phone and bio-ID payment systems [link].

$50,000 "per statement cycle" - presumably one month - averages out to just under $1,700 per day. Obviously many businesses can easily exceed that per-day "cash activity" amount.

The cash-to-electronic transition has been underway for years, but apparently the time for forced compliance is now beginning by putting small and mid-size businesses in a position where they will be forced to reject cash payments to stay within the limit. Once that begins, there will be no turning back. Smart phone payment only please...

And wiring it to a foreign country as a work-around - that's out too. Digital control is what is it all about.

see: NWO - Google, Walmart, Etc. Pushing Cashless Mobile-Payment Systems; And Isis 9-1-12 "...the NWO "smart-phone'' mobile-payment system, which is designed to eventually eliminate cash, is moving forward in leaps and bounds...It is not hard to understand that when virtual-money replaces real cash-in-hand that personal autonomy i.e. freedom is something that would no longer exist. Absolutely every single transaction would be monitored resulting in zero privacy and loss of financial control. Each and every individual will be at the mercy of the 'cloud-managers' of the digital netherworld...Question: smart phones...or...dumb phones?" [see post]

This action by Chase, certainly before long to be followed by the rest of the now monopoly banks [i.e. BoA, Citi, Wells Fargo - link], must be seen as a very significant development in the kabalist-globalist cash-elimination digital-financial (666) planetary control scheme.

Greek Government To Greatly Limit Cash Use - Force Electronic Transactions

Greece: Cash transactions ceiling is set to drop to 500 euros

Any transaction in excess of 500 euros [$663] will soon only be allowed via credit or debit card or by check, according to a plan by the Finance Ministry aimed at combating tax evasion. The ceiling for cash transactions is to be lowered from 1,500 euros today to 500 euros and could be reduced further over in the course of 2013...

“The changes we are planning for 2013 include incentives to encourage citizens to use means of electronic payment in order to attain greater transparency in transactions and to combat tax evasion that is facilitated by the use of cash.

We will have to review this limit and generally we must see how we can make it easier for Greeks to change their years-long habit of paying for goods and services in cash and instead use other means of payment. This is a problematic situation in our country that has to change, albeit without upsetting social cohesion,” the deputy minister added.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Old world Greece "has to change" with regard to how they do business, says the Greek government, so notice has been given that the allowable limit for cash transactions is about to be greatly reduced. The Greek government is coming right out and admitting the truth about it too - they want "greater transparency in transactions". Big Brother control is the reality of what that means. Comparing this with other developments from just the past few months [see below], it is readily apparent that phasing out cash has now become a full-fledged global movement:

Absolutely every single transaction would be monitored resulting in zero privacy and loss of financial control. Each and every individual will be at the mercy of the 'cloud-managers' of the digital netherworld.

This international cashless movement is obviously intended to become a global system at the end, and in that will be used to dominate all mankind. It is coming to pass, believe it or not, exactly as foretold in the inerrant Word of God: that Satan incarnate, the very Antichrist, may force the human race to submit to his will in part through financial pressure; who will at that time make claim to be 'god' [2Thes. 2:4]; and will find many to take his part [Rev. 13:8]; who then willingly swear allegiance to him and receive the 'mark of the beast' [666]. Do not be one of 'them' [Rom. 10:13]. Be aware of how this is becoming a reality, and the implications of it. Not all are, many if not most are still clueless. Do not let the 'beast' distract you, whosoever, from the real issues of eternal life and coming judgment with his trinkets and shiny baubles - with the worthless wares of vanity fair, all is passing away. [1John 2:17]

A global cashless control system is definitely a sign of the lateness of the hour. If the Lord Jesus Christ comes tonight for his bride, speaking to those who name the name of Christ, will you be found watching and waiting? [here]

Cashless Canada: Currency Printing Operation Stops 1-1-2013; "Mint Chip" Being Rolled Out

Canada Takes Unprecedented Step Towards A Cashless Society

BA International, a banknote printing operation in Ottawa owned by Giesecke & Devrient in Germany, stopped printing currency (including Canadian) as of January 1 2013. You read that right! As of January first, no more Canadian currency is being printed.

Why have they stopped? According to BA International it is due to a decrease in demand for new bills, thanks to the new plastic currencies longer life expectancy...Can the plastic bills still be lost? Get damaged? Of course. So the idea of them being so great that we don’t need to print anymore currency is absurd! The real agenda is a cashless future.

According to a poll conducted by Paypal Canada. 56% of Canadians would refer using a digital wallet then cash already...With acceptance numbers above the 50% mark, the Royal Canadian Mint has begun to slowly release the Mintchip.

Who is Isis? Here is a basic answer:

"Isis is pronounced "EYE-sys". This goddess has been worshipped longer than any other known goddess from the origin of written history to the 5th century A.D. Her worship began in ancient Egypt and later spread throughout Asia Minor and Europe. Her religion was a mystery cult in which she was revered as Queen of Heaven, Earth and the Underworld." link

In the very simplest terms possible, "Isis" is the embodiment of the concept of the "divine feminine" which permeates many religions. This concept of the divine feminine takes numerous forms, including that of the "shekinah" in the Jewish Kabbalah, and the Mother Mary of Catholicism (Queen of heaven), and Kali from the Hindu religion, to name just a few.

The Bible reveals that this concept of the "divine feminine" is not just a myth but is actually real. It is in essence, very simply, the 'spirit of this world'. It is the driving spirit of a world that is in absolute rebellion against the True God. In that respect this 'spirit' is in fact portrayed as feminine, and despite the many different names attributed to this 'feminine spirit' throughout history, the Bible identifies it simply as "the great whore" - "with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication" - Rev. 17:1-2 ...

Louisiana Bans Cash Transactions for Second-Hand Merchandise

A new law passed in Louisiana has made it illegal for consumers to pay for second-hand goods with cash, in a ruling that has a substantial effect on the many flea markets in the state...House Bill 195 states that “Anyone, other than a non-profit entity, who buys, sells, trades in or otherwise acquires or disposes of junk or used or secondhand property more frequently than once per month from any other person, other than a non-profit entity, shall be deemed as being in the business of a secondhand dealer. A secondhand dealer shall not enter into any cash transactions in payment for the purchase of junk or used or secondhand property. Payment shall be made in the form of check, electronic transfers, or money order issued to the seller of the junk or used or secondhand property.”

The bill will make operations for trading posts and flea markets far more strenuous in an attempt to stop fraud, as customers will be forced to use checks or money orders for transactions. The definition of the bill is broad enough that it also could be used to stop sales through Ebay or Craigslist. State Representative Rickey Hardy, who co-authored the bill, said that the paper trail will make it more difficult for criminals to sell stolen items for quick cash. “It’s a mechanism to be used so the police department has something to go on and have a lead.”

Attorney Thad D. Ackel, lead counsel at Ackel and Associates LLC, writes on the firm’s blog a detailed description of what would be necessary for every cash sale. “For every transaction a secondhand dealer must obtain the seller’s personal information such as their name, address, driver’s license number and the license plate number of the vehicle in which the goods were delivered. They must also make a detailed description of the item(s) purchased and submit this with the personal identification information of every transaction to the local policing authorities through electronic daily reports.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a major story. SCOTUS is taking up a very closely related issue next week [see 'follow up' above]. They are two sides of the same coin. The SCOTUS case is to determine if a person even has the "right" to resell goods without "permission", and we now discover that the apparatus is already being put in place to control all of the 'buying' of second-hand merchandise. The last paragraph of the above article reveals just how over-the-top this new system actually is - any cash transaction that did for some reason happen would require full-disclosure police reports. Taking away from the people the ability to use cash is to instantly establish draconian control of them. Louisana just did it, and clearly now that one state has got the ball rolling, it will not be long before all the other states follow suit. It is all part of the much bigger plan to ultimately control every financial transaction on the entire planet. The 666 thing where 'no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name' (Rev. 13:17) will be planet-wide, nothing less. Obviously cash cannot be part of the game plan, so, just make it 'illegal' - and they are.

It has to happen...for "it is written". Time to believe the Word of God unbelievers. Rev. 18:4

---------------------------------------------------------
As seen by a glance at the above articles, the NWO "smart-phone'' mobile-payment system, which is designed to eventually eliminate cash, is moving forward in leaps and bounds. As stated in one of the articles linked above the system is still relatively new, but as these four articles also reveal, the infrastructure necessary to fully implement the planned cashless-grid is rapidly materializing. It is not hard to understand that when virtual-money replaces real cash-in-hand that personal autonomy i.e. freedom is something that would no longer exist. Absolutely every single transaction would be monitored resulting in zero privacy and loss of financial control. Each and every individual will be at the mercy of the 'cloud-managers' of the digital netherworld.

On that note it is very interesting to note the name of the new mobile-payment system being rolled out this month (Sept. '12). Is it just coincidence that this new mobile-payment system that is linking together all the major players in the financial and communication worlds is being called "Isis"? Who is Isis? Here is a basic answer:

"Isis is pronounced "EYE-sys". This goddess has been worshipped longer than any other known goddess from the origin of written history to the 5th century A.D. Her worship began in ancient Egypt and later spread throughout Asia Minor and Europe. Her religion was a mystery cult in which she was revered as Queen of Heaven, Earth and the Underworld." link

In the very simplest terms possible, "Isis" is the embodiment of the concept of the "divine feminine" which permeates many religions. This concept of the divine feminine takes numerous forms, including that of the "shekinah" in the Jewish Kabbalah, and the Mother Mary of Catholicism (Queen of heaven), and Kali from the Hindu religion, to name just a few.

The Bible reveals that this concept of the "divine feminine" is not just a myth but is actually real. It is in essence, very simply, the 'spirit of this world'. It is the driving spirit of a world that is in absolute rebellion against the True God. In that respect this 'spirit' is in fact portrayed as feminine, and despite the many different names attributed to this 'feminine spirit' throughout history, the Bible identifies it simply as "the great whore" - "with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication":

Revelation of John 17:
(1) And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
(2) With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

There is also an interesting take on this feminine spirit especially as related to the world's system of commerce in the book of Zechariah chapter five. The reference is to "the ephah (unit of measurement) that goes forth", alluding to the global system of commerce, and the passage is describing it's ultimate judgment, as it is not of God, but is wickedness (corrupt), and is described as "a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah" (vs. 7):

Zechariah 5: (5) ¶ Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
(6) And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
(7) And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
(8) And he said, This is wickedness.

This woman in the ephah is the same as the "great whore" in Revelation 17. The corrupt system of this world is possessed and driven by this 'spirit of corruption' in all facets, including financial - "the ephah that goeth forth". This world, being in rebellion against the Triune God of the Bible, is not directed or controlled by the Spirit of God, but by the opposing 'spirit of this world'. Isis is one of the primary names used for this antichrist spirit, and it just so happens that Isis is now also the name of the new system to bind people into the fast-approaching cashless control grid (the new 'ephah') of the kabalist Babylonian NWO.

Sweden Adds Voice To Global 'Cashless Cry'

Sweden Considers Cashless Society

Sweden may be a member of the European Union, but to date it has opted not to join the EU’s currency union. If some people in Sweden have their way it may never be necessary to join the currency union, since they would rather see all coins and bank notes replaced with debit and credit cards. The subject has been simmering for some time, but was brought to the forefront July 17 through a British Broadcasting Corporation report. In this report it is noted there are high profile proponents of a cashless but plastic and electronic transaction driven society that include former Abba band member Bjorn Eulvaeus, several labor unions, and the Swedish Work Environment Authority.

New Welfare Foundation spokesman Par Strom, based in Stockholm, was quick to disagree. Strom said, “If it’s impossible to pay cash when you buy stuff, it’s also impossible not to leave electronic footprints behind you, and the electronic footprints from what you buy put together can tell the entire story about your life. This can be very sensitive information. Most people don’t want this total surveillance society.”

Regardless of the arguments defending coins and bank notes, it would appear the decision to move towards a cashless society in Sweden may be a done deal, according to the way the BBC account presents the position of Swedish Work Environment Authority spokesman Bernt Nilsson: “Nilsson says it will be several years, at least, before Sweden can finally rid itself of cash.”

It's a done deal, according to those who should know, the "high profile proponents", but it will take "several years". Perhaps, unless of course something 'unforseen' should happen which hastens the transformation of the various countries of the world into the planned cashless future. Either way, it is truly a done deal. Cash is freedom. Digital cyber-money is a control mechanism. Power over earthlings could not be maintained without it.

TAXATION

"From 1. Jan. 2011, every transaction above 1,500 euros between natural persons and businesses, or between businesses, will not be considered legal if it is done in cash. Transactions will have to be done through debit or credit cards" [1500 euros = approx. U.S. $1900]

Italy Banning Cash Transactions Over €5,000 As Latest European Austerity Package Revealed
As part of its new austerity package, any cash transactions over 5,000 euros ($6,188) will be banned in an effort to crack down on tax evasion, a government source said on Monday, reports Reuters. "Reducing the ceiling on cash transactions, which currently stands at 12,500 euros, forms part of the package of public sector hiring and wage reductions and spending cutbacks being prepared by Economy Minister Giulio Tremonti, the source said. The limit will also apply to cashiers' cheques."

re: "not...considered legal", "will be banned"

The anti-cash legislation in Greece is a done deal. The legislation in Mexico is pending, and the Italian Government already has an anti-cash law in place, but have a new measure pending, aimed at "reducing the ceiling". Ever pushing forward, the Cabalist Antichrist-kingdom-comers never sleep.

When the biblically prophesied global cashless system is completed, the individual will be at the mercy of a system of phantom 'cyber-space digital credits'. Those in charge of this system will then have control of all the earth. You are seeing it birthed. [compare here and here]

Mexico To Illegalize Large Cash Transactions - 'Digital Money' Only Please

Mexico to ban payment in cash

Mexico says it is planning to tighten the noose around big-ticket cash purchases to curtail the flow of smuggled dollars and fight money laundering.

President Felipe Calderon put forward the sweeping new measures Thursday to crack down on billions of dollars of the illicit money gained by the drug cartels and spent by them for more profit.

"This illicit money is vital for the criminal. That is what they seek, this money. It is also vital to finance their activities," said Calderon, The Washington Post reported on Thursday.

If approved by the legislature, the legislation would not allow anyone to buy real estate in cash. Neither would it permit anyone to spend more than MXN 100,000 (USD 7,700) in cash on vehicles, boats, airplanes and luxury goods.

Violators of the new legislation would face up to 15 years in prison.

NWO Attacks: North Koreans Blindsided By Money Change; Savings Disappear

North Koreans in misery as cash is culled

Shops and markets in North Korea have been closed and all cash transactions frozen after the Government’s shock announcement of a devaluation of its currency in an effort to crack down on the country’s burgeoning free-market economy.

In the capital, Pyongyang, yesterday only the few shops and restaurants permitted to trade in foreign currencies — patronised by the privileged elite and the city’s small foreign population — were open for business. All other enterprises and services based on cash, including markets, long-distance bus services, barbers’ shops, saunas and bath houses, were suspended until the revaluation of the won is completed next week.

There were reports of public outrage and confusion after the announcement of the measure, which requires North Koreans to swap existing won notes for new ones at an exchange rate of one to 100 — effectively knocking two zeroes off their value. Because of a cap of 100,000 won per family (£475 at the official exchange rate), anyone with significant holdings of cash will have their savings wiped out.

The announcement was made on Monday via a closed-cable broadcasting system that is piped into all North Korean homes. It was not reported in the state media but was confirmed the following day in briefings to foreign diplomats in Pyongyang, who were summoned to the Foreign Ministry at 20 minutes’ notice.

“It came as a great surprise to everyone,” one Western diplomat in Pyongyang told The Times.

“Everything closed — no notice given. When we made inquiries we discovered it was because the currency was no longer valid. It’s really quite dramatic.”

re: 'everything closed - no notice given'

How will the public react when the *self-anointed global finance managers crash the monetary systems of the various countries? Only one way to find out...run a test. North Korea...you are elected. [*see: 9-25-09 World Economic Summit #3 Wrap Up: G20 'Leaders' Anoint Selves As Global Masters]

Cash transactions frozen, new money exchanged for the old at a rate of 1 to 100 - wiping out savings...and the result is...public outrage and confusion across the country (i.e. chaos) - just as planned.

Forget about Copenhagen and carbon emission standards in the year 2050...what an absurd joke...the ordo ab chao inducing strategists of the NWO can turn everything upside down, anywhere they choose to do so, in a moment. Time is growing ever shorter...where will they attack next? Rev. 18:4
