On the eve or during the festive season, there is always a shortage of cash at ATMs in the country and this year is no exception. Many people are complaining that they are unable to successfully withdraw cash from ATMs.
The lack of cash at ATMs has been exacerbated after KWSP issued a withdrawal of RM10,000. If you are not in urgent need of cash, you may choose not to withdraw from ATMs for the time being so that you can avoid the situation where ATMs are unable to withdraw cash.
Banks in the country are also aware of the situation of ATMs running out of cash and are making arrangements to deal with the problem. If you really need cash urgently, you can try a few more ATMs.
If you have an e-wallet account, you can use it to pay for the time being. Many shops already support e-wallet payments and you can pay with any e-wallet as long as the shop supports the DuitNow payment QR code.
You will not be able to get any discounts if you use cash, but if you choose to pay with your e-wallet you can also get cashback, points, discount vouchers etc.
