I bank with MetroBank - I don't use much cash but when I want it I want small denomination notes and coins, neither of which come out of ATMs. It helps that Metrobank are usually open every day and for longer hours than most banks so I don't have to make a special trip when I want cash, e.g.I can go early evening when grocery shopping
