New Trinidad & Tobago $ money polymer notes

[stev]

Just got the new $100 bills from RBC, ATM in San Juan

dem upgrade already?

if RBL doh have it be Dec. 31st I guess is RBC ATMs for me

as far as I know (i could be wrong) RBC doh use Massy Tech for ATM maintenance and upgrades...they do their own thing.

on the other hand...Massy making ah killing on the upgrade.

testing started and was completed yesterday by Massy I think.

I've quoted my own post because it contains wrong information.....corrections below:

Massy services RBC ATMs,

The upgrade per ATM takes no longer than 5 mins

Massy is not required to visit each ATM as a technical resource from the financial institution could do the 'upgrade'

Massy still making a killing cuz the charge is a 'development fee' per ATM. lol

Sooo visited Republic bank today. Took me about 1 1/2 hours in total. Deposited the cash, the teller checked it by hand. No checks were made to see if it were counterfeit or not with the current security features. So i guess any kind of money entering the bank normal now. Also i was only allowed to withdraw a maximum of $2000. Nothing more. I asked the teller if it was this branch only, if it's all banks or only republic banks, or if was for today only... she said she didn't know as they only got a limited supply. I found that really strange.
Anyways, glad i got that out the way. I done with banks until next year.

that's only for non account holders?

[viedcht]

Well, if you depositing, that means you have an account with them, already verified your address, ID, and statement of affairs/income sources.

so when u are depositing the old notes

[Chimera]

More like half hour per person

i spend a good 3.5 hours in the bank this morning

in that time the teller only took 2 commercial customers
i line up in regular line thinking it would move a bit faster as it had 4 tellers

pressure yes

This makes it understandable why so much smaller businesses putting out notices they not accepting the old hundreds within the next few days.

Small businessmen can't go waste hours in the bank everyday now.

i was expecting them to do this but not so soon- at least wait till after xmas then u have time to go to bank to deposit the old notes

U know what pressure it 2oukd be to line up to exchange that?!

Is a million people hadda do that in 15 days in what like 100 outlets. And average 10mins per person.

Just like inspection, they will need and extension

[Chimera]

Hell no. Usually inspend 5 to 15 mins in the bank.

Right now everyone looking to get rid of their old currency. Bringing out money that wudda probably sit at home until january or to keep for closer to Christmas.

Commercial line today people had just bags and bags of cash. Craziness yes.

Hear d next part
At 830 fcb pt.lisas lock off their car park. You hadda go park in plipdeco and walk to the bank.a 2 or 3 min walk but still...plenty opportunity. Any bank run I making is 7am from now yes.

Wouldn't it just be like any other trip to the bank to make deposits? If you have business accounts won't it be an automatic change as deposits are made?

Two forms of ID is bull5hit

Some folks only have an ID card as they don't have a drivers permit nor a passport. Mostly old folks fall into this category.

[pugboy]

they say for them kinda folks to go central bank directly

[antlind]

Quick question. Can I deposit the old notes at the ATM into my account or do all old notes have to be exchanged over the counter?

[bluefete]

Impsbutt said that the new figure for source of funds form declaration is now $50,000.00 down from $90,000.00.

For casinos it is now $10,000.00 HAHAHAAAA for that one because is Imps pardners who control that industry.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Take note eh

[redmanjp]

RBL and another one opening Saturdays

[bluefete]

Well, as was stated before, money launderers deal in US$, so this is just a big pappy show by the government to cover themselves and their financiers.

A report stated around 9 am, Imbert left his son asleep in the house. Police said around mid-day, his son woke up and realised that someone had broken into the house. Sgt Roberts, PC Bernard of the Maraval CID received information and immediately executed warrants of the suspect’s homes but noting was found. The 64-year-old and 52-year-old men from Maraval were assisting the police with enquiries up to late yesterday. When contacted, Imbert said he was a victim of crime and refused to comment any further on the matter.
