A cashless society

how far away are we from a place where cash isn’t used?

I always like to have some cash on me, but rarely if ever use it (buying the odd paper from the local shop). Everything else is just tapped these days, quicker and you don’t have to fanny on with change

Apparently Sweden is nearly there

Do you want cash to remain?

There are bars in Sweden that won't take cash at all.
 
I don’t want cash to go to the wall but I do want businesses to become more card friendly.

The biggest stumbling block as far as I can tell is the transaction charges placed by the bank which puts smaller businesses off, especially those that sell cheap things like independent corner shops or newsagents.

Surely that cost has to come down over time. When someone says to me “sorry we don’t take card” I just want to show them a calendar and say it’s 2018 you twat!

yes. always feel strange going into a pub and buying a beer or a round with card. Also little cafe`s and stuff if we are out for the day and nip in for a brew or owt. Much rather just pay cash for stuff like that

I’d love to be in a position where we didn’t take card, it’s a fanny on maintaining change and banking etc and you get charged to put the fucker in the bank. Sadly, just under 2/3 of our transactions are cash even tho we encourage card so we’re quite a way off.
 
Won't be long really, I used to install till systems in schools canteens that were completely cashless, the parents simply topped up online and the kids paid for meals with a fingerprint. That was 5 years ago
 
Use cash for things from corner shop cos he still charges for card payments less than a fiver. When out and about on hols last week, even local food producers at a market we went to had them Paypal card readers.
Can’t see it lasting much longer - 10 years? Yet can’t ever see it vanishing either. It’s an odd one.
