Last year, we introduced our pro-cash movement to the public with our 2017 Cash Matters video . Now, we celebrate the freedom to choose cash with our 2018 Cash Matters video .
Social inclusion, data protection, privacy and financial freedom matter more than ever.
Keeping cash as an option in the payment landscape, means the public maintains their right to:
Advancements in payment technology should be encouraged, but eliminating cash should not, because while 2 billion people remain unbanked , cash is the only choice for 38% of the world’s adult population. And while every nation has their own array of payment option, 50% of payments across 75% of countries are still conducted in cash .
Perhaps this is because cash is the only truly democratic payment option . It is a social equaliser that can be used with ease by and between people of all walks of life: young, old, poor, rich, tech-savvy, tech-resistant, tourist or local.
Choices empower you, and that matters.
