As the payments industry accelerates towards a digital-first future, one question remains critical: are we expanding choice or removing it? This white paper explores the strategic, social and economic case for maintaining access to cash alongside digital payments. From financial inclusion and consumer choice to resilience, privacy and business continuity, it examines why cash infrastructure remains an essential part of a modern payment ecosystem. Drawing on global policy developments, industry trends and real-world disruptions, 'Cash, Choice, and Control' makes the case that the future of payments is not cashless. It is inclusive.
