In the commune of Chaudfontaine, don’t the less prosperous villages need cash? There are fifteen ATMs in Embourg and Beaufays. None in Vaux-sous-Chèvremont and Chaudfontaine-sources. Even the neutral Batopin system is absent there, although it has just been established in Embourg.
In Beaufays, if you want to collect tickets, you have the choice between CBC at the roundregarding, Axa two hundred meters further towards Liège and ING almost opposite. Continue your journey and arrive in Embourg. There you will find a Belfius, two distributors at BePost, three at ING, one at the Axa agency and three “neutral” Batopin distributors right next door.
Go down the valley towards the less prosperous areas of the commune, arrive at Vaux-sous-Chèvremont and look for a distributor. “Phew, it’s catastrophic, there isn’t any” this gentleman reacts to the window of his car. He lives in Vaux, like his passenger, angry at having to go to the Belle-île shopping center to withdraw money. The third passenger explains “s’arranger” with one or the other to go by car to the nearest distributor.
“Look, there, in the corner” shows this man seated on the terrace of the Place Foguenne café. “Before, there was an agency and an ATM” he laments, recalling that on flea markets and markets “it is rare to be able to pay with a card”.
Municipal councilor Lionel Thelen (Générations Chaudfontaine) denounces inequality between the different areas of the municipality. “However, here, there is an economy that lives thanks to cash. An entire social life is threatened, because people do not have vehicles or the possibility of traveling five kilometers to withdraw money.”
The Batopin company promises that a point with two distributors will be set up in Chaudfontaine-village. Batopin does not announce anything for Vaux-sous-Chèvremont.
