  • There has been a movement to remove cash for a long time. Banks still have an incentive to earn your custom as there are (still) different banks so you get to choose, though a lot of the old banks have fused in the last decades. Every time I open a new account to avoid depending on one bank, the banks fuse.

    In 1995 there were a lot of hold ups of cash transports. I thought back then that they were part of a push to reduce the use of cash.

    Covid did a lot more to reduce the use of cash.

    Since most services that pay wages or pensions require a bank account it’s not that new. Personally I don’t mind having digital money only, but I would prefer if the bank of the national postal service would still offer low cost bank acounts… but they got fused with a private bank.
