Should we become a cashless society?
manchestereveningnews.co.ukOver the past few years, society in the UK has gradually moved towards a more cashless approach. Card and contactless payments have become the norm, something that was only sped up by the Covid pandemic with many establishments stopping taking cash as a health precaution.
And as we gradually continue to move towards cashless being more common throughout the country, we want to know if you think that we should fully adopt a cashless society. Let us know what you think in the comments section. While being cashless undoubtedly helps speed up transactions and is an easy way of paying for things, it may cause trouble for some groups in society such as more elderly people who may not be used to using such a system.
But despite this, a report from UK Finance has predicted that cash usage will drop to just six percent by 2031.
