The role of cash in a changing retail landscape

In an era of digital payments and contactless transactions, it is easy to assume that cash is becoming obsolete. However, the reality is that cash still plays a vital role in societies across the world. According to a survey by the Bank of England, one in five respondents still prefer to use cash as their payment method of choice.
