💨 Abstract

In response to the Covid pandemic, many businesses stopped accepting cash, leading to a 35% drop in cash use in 2020. As a result, cashless payments now account for 12% of all transactions, up from 51% a decade earlier. However, the Treasury Committee has warned that this trend could lead to a 'two-tier society' where vulnerable groups are excluded.
