I got a letter, and then later a phone call, from Bendigo. They are adamant that paypass is mandatory, it is not an option. the person i spoke to said it had been decided "at the highest executive level". she didn't say if that was because Mastercard and/or Visa required it of them or if it was their own decision. she stated that it was the bank's official position and wouldn't be changing. i said that my official position was that I've lodged a complaint with the FOS and if I don't receive a satisfactory outcome, I would be looking for a bank that can give me a non-RFID card. craig -- craig sanders <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
