The UK's shift towards a cashless society is intriguing, but we must consider the impact on cash-dependent populations. The Payments Choice Alliance's focus on preserving payment options is commendable for inclusivity and democratic values. Balancing cash and digital payments, tailored solutions, and stakeholder collaboration is crucial for a smooth and inclusive transition. I prefer a less cash economy with an increased focus on digitisation and policies favouring payments as digital public goods, accessible, transparent, and secure!
