Its a PITA having to find banks that are actually open when people pay in cash. ANZ in Petone at one stage were closed Mondays and Fridays, dont know if its still the same, and going to lower Hutt -- Damn nightmare.
Having mobile eftpos saves a lot of troubles with people saying They pay by internet - either standing about while they fumble about trying to remember details, or saying they will pay it later that night then you have to chase them for weeks for payment, as more urgent bills have come in.
Damn right. We hated being paid in cash. Having to go find a machine to deposit it. Myth that self employed people want the stuff. We sure didn't! Mobile eftpos is the best thing.

My local council rubbish tip is card only no cash, Auckland transport fares are card only no cash and I have heard of some restaurants taking card only. Some smaller companies don't want to have to handle cash especially in small towns where the banks have closed or have very limited hours. ..

There is no legal requirement for businesses to accept cash as long as they let customers know before starting to shop or receive services.
