Not stupid

MPs will be shocked to discover that the British public aren't as stupid as they thought they were.

Despite fee-charging ATMs making up 40% of the total ATM network, only 5% of total transactions and 3% of all cash withdrawals used them. This confounds recent Treasury Select Committee controversy that fee-charging ATMs duped the public into using them by offering "free" balance inquiries yet charged for cash withdrawals.

Maybe the public can recognise fee-charging ATMs and only use them when their need for cash is greater than the fee!
