@MyMoneyView A1: Hassle free but had to wait in the queue for about 45mins! #MoneyViewChat

@MyMoneyView A1 – it’s funny but I haven’t been to an ATM or bank since de-monetization! Digital ki jai! #MoneyViewChat #FindCashWithMV

While some stayed away from visiting ATMs/Banks and waiting it out longer, some others had to queue up to withdraw cash. The waiting time in queues was different for different people. Some felt the process was smooth even though there was waiting while others felt it was chaotic and the bank employees were not helping out either. Some lucky ones had no trouble in withdrawing money.

Overall, the situation is still very fluid changing from place to place.

Second question. Q2: What were main problems you faced at the banks/ATMs? #MoneyViewChat pic.twitter.com/LnOuMc8lR9

@MyMoneyView A2: Nothing specific as such. But when I was at the bank, cash still hadn’t come. Hence the waiting time. #MoneyViewChat

@MyMoneyView A2 – I think the main problem is actually finding a fully loaded bank or ATM at the moment! #MoneyViewChat #FindCashWithMV

@MyMoneyView A2. 1. The super scary long queue
2. No cash in the banks/ATMs #MoneyViewChat #FindCashWithMV

The problems at the banks/ATMs were of long queues. Almost everyone encountered them. There was also the case of cash running out or no cash in their closest branch. Then there was the trouble of cash withdrawal restrictions. Some others complained of no proper management of queue and bank officials not helping out either. Yes, it was troublesome at the banks/ATMs.

Time for Q3: How did you tackle the long queues at the banks?ATMs? #MoneyViewChat pic.twitter.com/1mNWDxdxw5

We got some fun answers for this question. Some people spent time chatting up with strangers in the queue while others listened to music to while away time in the queues. People stocked up on snacks and water to help themselves. And there were those who were very smart. They used Find ATM with cash feature on Money View App to find out an ATM with cash before heading out.

Time for Q4: Did you have trouble finding ATMs with money near your location? #MoneyViewChat pic.twitter.com/mYnnA9FjiC

Many people underwent a lot of trouble to locate an ATM with cash. A few lucky ones managed to find one easily. It perhaps was the location that made the difference.
