I suppose I'm a bit of a Monopoly purist, but I really just couldn't make myself enjoy this version of the game. Players have no idea how much money they have at any given point, and the inflation of the prices is unnecessary and makes keeping track of one's own spending mentally more difficult.
On the plus side, though, cleanup is a breeze.
One thing I think would improve the educational value of this version of the game greatly would be to add a check register for each player so that he or she can keep track of spending and so that kids can learn that credit cards really aren't an endless supply of money.

Gives a modern twist to a already classic game. I really like this version, Smooth game play with no hassle about "paper" money.

I bought this for my daughter-in-law, but I have enjoyed it as well. We really enjoyed playing this game.

Our 8 year old recently discovered the joy of Monopoly, and we decided to expand our game collection with the Electronic Banking Edition. What a great addition to the Monopoly line!
The new "debit card" system took only a few turns to get used to, and we all enjoyed demanding rent payments of $250k and getting an amazing $2 million for passing Go. The updated properties are not only a nice change, but offer an opportunity to talk about landmarks and history with the young one.
We quickly found "workarounds" for custom rules such as the Free Parking rule. An extra spiral bound notebook tucked in the box allows for manual bookkeeping of those taxes and fines paid to what was the center of the board. It's also handy as an extra "job" for those families with players who insist on handing out the deeds or being banker; someone's always left out.
The lack of paper money involved is my favorite part of the game. It gets rather annoying to have to create homemade Monopoly money or to make players trade in their $100s for $500s because the bank has run out. With the debit card system, the bank never runs out!

Really enjoyed the new version and it's benefits. Highly recommended. No money to deal with. It is does keep the banker busy with entries.
