It all depends on the merchant... some might stipulate "minimum" $10, some
$20, some $5. They might also stipulate a "minimum" cash-out. These ppl
want a realistic sale so they can genuinely absorb the transaction cost
(fees!) to them for having an EFT sale made.
The smallest possible EFT transaction can be $0.01. The largest is $400
due to the maximum amount possible withdrawn out of electronic accounts per
day, stipulated by the bank (although Commonwealth's limit per day is
$800).
