as someone who pretty much exclusively pays card/Pay Pal/Bpay for stuff in 2024 im interested to here on if Ozbagrain would support a 100% cashless society
Ill try be balance the three main arguement against a cashless society are
- card surcharges the only way for businesses/consumers to 100% avoid this is via paying cash
- Many 'businesses' (cough) tradies tend to do the side cash jobs giving a decent discount, anyone who has owned a house for longer then a few years would have experience with this
- some people mostly older generation just like paying in cash or do not trust the banks/government etc to use card.
the arguments for cashless are obvious it is quicker, more efficient, better for the environment, safer for businesses and consumers etc
