Australia is often a testing ground for authoritarian initiatives the global elite wish to expand to other countries.
According to reports, the ‘Land Down Under’ is experimenting with a cashless society.
WLTReport previously noted some Australian banks are no longer permitting customers to access cash at some branches.
The Commonwealth Bank, Australia’s largest bank, has adopted the cashless initiative.
“The Commonwealth Bank has opened a number of ‘cashless’ branches with customers no longer able to access their money over-the-counter,” Daily Mail reports.

Daily Mail reports:
Teller cash transactions are not available at branches including Commonwealth Bank Place in the centre of Sydney along with the nearby South Eveleigh, Barangaroo, Penrith and University of Sydney, which the bank now calls ‘specialist centres’.
Daily Mail Australia also understands some ‘specialist centre’ branches in Brisbane and Melbourne no longer permit over the counter cash withdrawals and deposits.
Deposits and withdrawals can still be made via on-site ATMs but for those who don’t have their bankcard handy things get much more difficult.
‘Cardless cash’ withdrawals of up to $500 a day using the CommBank app are available, but for those who need more funds or don’t have their phone with them, their money can’t be accessed.
Customers will need to locate a branch that still does offer teller transaction and travel there.
The specialist centre branches focus more on business customers and loan products and are located nearby to traditional branches
In a statement the bank said: ‘Commonwealth Bank has created a very small number of Specialist Centres in major metropolitan areas, which are designed to support personal and business customers with more complex banking needs.
Is this a case of boiling the frog?
While there may be a ‘very small number’ of specialist centre branches now, how quickly will these branches expand across the country?
Will the majority of branches forbid or limit cash withdrawals in the future?
We know central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are the goal.
The global elite dream of a cashless society where they can control all of your finances with the click of a button.
The global elite at the World Economic Forum openly discussed this plan at their latest summit in China.
And CBDCs are right around the corner in the United States.
The Federal Reserve is preparing the launch of its “FedNow” digital platform, which lays the foundation for a CBDC.
FedNow is prepared to go live in July.
We’ve been covering FedNow for a while at WLTReport.
Read more about FedNow here.
In addition to the Federal Reserve’s digital money platform, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) wants to develop a global CBDC.
We actually warned you about EXACTLY this scenario a few months ago…
INCOMING: US Government May Freeze American Bank Withdrawals
Don’t say I didn’t warn you…
I follow the news for a living and I keep my finger on the pulse of the nation while doing so, and I can tell you something feels very “off” right now.
Like something big is about to drop.
And I feel like it will involve the banks.
Call it a hunch, but my gut isn’t wrong too often.
And it’s very possible your money may not be safe.
Where’s the safest place to put your money?
For decades, we were raised and taught the answer to that question was “in a bank”.
And for decades that answer was correct.
But what if one day the bank just says — sorry! It’s not your money anymore! — and refuses to let you take it out?
That’s not just random speculation by me, many experts are warning that’s coming.
In fact, it already has a name: “bail-ins”.

And from Stew Peters:
ALERT: US Government May Freeze American Bank Withdrawals As Currency Panic and Capital Flight Mounts – Hedge Fund Manager Hugh Hendry
This will be catastrophic. pic.twitter.com/IPjWj4SzX6
— Stew Peters (@realstewpeters) May 8, 2023
Here’s more, from The Daily HODL:
In a new interview on Bloomberg Markets, Hendry says mass panic and capital flight away from the US banking sector is entirely justified.
Hendry says a further decline in the M2 money supply, which in part tracks money in liquid checking accounts, could convince the US government to step in and prevent citizens from taking their capital out of the banking system.
“Sometimes it’s kind of relevant to panic. I would recommend you panic… You’ve seen the biggest waterfall decline in M2 right now. M2 is deposits, not loans. That’s the deposits fleeing the system and going into money market funds.That could reach a crescendo where the Treasury and the Fed may have to come in and actually restrict your right as a US citizen to pull money out of the US banking sector.”
Hendry says capital flight from US banks is not solely about fears on whether the FDIC will insure deposits above $250,000, and a blanket guarantee on deposits would not solve the problem.
“There is capital flight, deposit flight from the banking sector seeking yield. I fear that, I don’t say this lightly, but in 1934 the Federal Reserve Act confiscated gold from US citizens.
We’re at the point where the Fed and Treasury officials I’m sure are having to consider a gate a lock on US bank deposits.”

But it’s not just these people warning you…
How about President Trump himself?
That’s right, check this out:
TRUMP: “Our Currency Is Crashing And Will Soon No Longer Be The World Standard…”
President Trump said something VERY interesting in his historic speech last night.
Many very interesting things actually.
Historic speech.
But one thing really jumped out to me because we’ve been covering it here a lot.
And that is the crash of the U.S. Dollar.
Bo Polny was one of the very first people to ever talk about this, telling me on my show over 2 years ago that it would happen.
Back then people laughed.
Said Bo was crazy.
And now?
Now you have President Donald John Trump telling you point blank.
Wow.
Watch this:
Trump:
"Our currency is crashing and will soon no longer be the world standard…If you took the five worst Presidents in the history of the United States and added them up they would not have the amount of destruction Joe Biden has done…

As always, I never like to just leave you with a problem…
Leave you feeling helpless…
Nah, that’s not what we do here.
I like to give you solutions!
And on that note I have just one question for you: “Got Gold?”
Got God’s money?
Might be wise.
Read this:
Gold Is About To Become “Unobtainium”?
In the history of the world, it usually hasn’t been a bad idea to secure some of your assets in “God’s money” a/k/a Gold.
And boy do I have a big update for you on that.
Here are two of the best, Steve Quayle and Greg Hunter.
I always love listening to these two chat, even though they got a little chippy at the end, with Quayle chipping back “Did you not just hear me?”
That’s ok, stress and tensions running high.
But there was a LOT in this one and I will try to summarize a couple main points.
First, Quayle points out that China has been absolutely DUMPING U.S. Treasuries in recent months, and then accelerating the sales this week.
According to Quayle, they dumped so much this week they sold them for 15 cents on the dollar just to get out.
As Bo Polny keeps warning us, a failure of the U.S. Dollar (USD) $ is coming and this is how you get a failure.
When the second largest holder of U.S. Treasuries rage quits the market and dumps them at fire sale.
Take a look at this:
China cuts US Treasury holdings to lowest level since global financial crisis. And the sales are accelerating.
At the same time China is increasing its gold reserves. #gold pic.twitter.com/5JwJSkfRJg

Ok, so to everyone who just tuned out when I started talking about Treasuries, let me explain to you why this matters.
DISCLAIMER: no, I am not a Financial Advisor and I’m definitely not YOUR Financial Advisor. But I am a reporter and I report it like I see it. Fair and honest.
Because the US Dollar is likely going down hard….
But that also means Gold is likely about to Moonshot.

I think you should get out of the banking system now. Shift your deposits into Gold, Silver or Crypto. You can't trust your Bank or the Govt. When the derivatives bubble pops no Govt will be able to print enough money to guarantee all deposits without causing hyperinflation.

The Hierarchy Of Money And The Case For $8,000 Gold https://t.co/52Ci27pQxZ

As for that last one, that would be going from $2,000/oz to $8,000/oz.
We call that a 4x move, or a 400% gain.
Wow.
You can watch the full interview here on Rumble:
If you already have gold, that’s great!
For everyone else….keep reading:
A Faith-Driven, Conservative Precious Metals Company You Can Use With Your IRA!
For the last year, central banks across the globe have been buying up as much gold (and often silver) as they can acquire without raising alarm bells. Now, we see why.
The recent bank runs and ongoing collapse of the U.S. banking system was anticipated by the “elites” and the central bankers who run things behind the scenes. They saw it coming and knew the best way to protect their assets was through physical precious metals.
If you’ve been waiting for me to bring you a solution about what YOU can do to protect yourself and you’re family, I’m happy to introduce you to something I absolutely love!
Precious metals.
I just talked about precious metals this week with Bo Polny and now I’m bringing you a solution that you can utilize right away if you’re so inclined…
A faith-driven, conservative precious metals company is currently helping Americans tap into the rising precious metals market through self-directed IRAs backed by physical precious metals. And while this service is not unique to Genesis, their adherence to Biblical stewardship of money makes them singularly qualified to receive a sponsored recommendation from this site.
Unlike most companies offering similar services, Genesis deals only with physical precious metals. They do not offer “virtual” or “paper” gold or silver.
With Genesis and their depositories, customers can see and touch the precious metals that back their retirement accounts. When it comes time to take distributions, Genesis customers can cash in some or all of their precious metals or have them delivered to their door.
Central bankers aren’t slowing down. In fact, nations like China and even U.S. states like Tennessee are quickly but quietly buying up gold to back their own treasuries. When the writing on the wall is this clear, it’s understandable why these governments are moving quickly to get ahead of any potential economic catastrophes in store.
Working with Genesis is the best way our readers can explore the physical precious metals market through self-directed IRAs. It benefits us as well when our readers work with this America-First company.
Visit genesiswlt.com or call 866-292-0443 today.
Don’t wait too long, we might have more bank failures right around the corner.
You know what has NEVER “failed”?
Gold. Precious metals. Indestructible.
There’s a reason they call it “God’s money”.
