I'm pretty sure they are being phased out, like a legacy thing. I have had a few bank accounts here and never been offered one. Seems like sensitive info to be carrying when I can use online banking instead.

To put it in perspective I found it nearly impossible to find a picture of one.

I have a habit of losing ATM cards so next time I need a replacement I'll try to get a bank book.

They might also be for kids.
