NZers have the highest rate of ETPOS usage in the world, and almost the lowest rate of ATM usage in the developed world.

Max, I agree about the highest level of EFT-POS usage here - I generally don't have more than 50c in my pocket. A friend of mine who has a shop in Dunedin says that between 85 and 90 percent of his turnover is via EFT-POS.

But I'd like to see your evidence for lowest rate of ATM usage. There are FIFTEEN of them, I'm told, in Lambton Quay in Wellington alone although I've never counted them. This is believed to be the highest concentration of ATMs in the world. I've had to hunt high and low in cities in Europe and the Strine to find an ATM. You just about trip over 'em here. Que pasa, senor?
