I knew from a friend who is working in a Bank that they will empty the ATM machines before the 24th of Jan,,,,,,,,So i think it's better to take enough money with u before this day,,,,,,maybe also some of our friends here who work in any bank can confirm that ?

we already *heard* from untrusted sources about fuel shortage,which was not and lead to a big traffic and shortage of fuel!...now ATM? oh c'omon,if everyone will rush now to withdraw the money,of course there will be shortage with money as well...

well .... I heard this from a trustworthy source who works for a big company that operates ATMs on behalf of 4 major banks.

ATMs will be emptied on 24th to avoid sabotage and theft like what happened last year.

Start getting enough cash TODAY ..... we still have three days ...... Sunday Monday and Tuesday ..... If we start today there won't be any shortages due to massive withdrawals.


Also it would be wise to keep enough cash to keep you going for a week or 10 days max. No need to carry or keep too much cash during such circumstances (and I am assuming the worst already which hopefully won't happen).

Pay your credit card bills so you can use them in places that accept them which is way better than cash.
