When was the last time you paid for something in cash?

We posted this question on LinkedIn, and the answers reinforce the notion that we are advancing towards a cashless economy

We carried out a poll on LinkedIn, asking people when was the last time they paid for something in cash. Only 18% of the respondents answered that they had used cash in the past few days, and 41% said they didn’t even remember when it was.

These results don’t surprise us at all – we see the volume of digital payments increasing continuously on our financial services platform. In 2021, we processed 30.4 billion dollars in financial transactions, 1,300% more than in 2020.

Of course, our poll on LinkedIn is not scientific research, but many studies have pointed out that we are moving towards a cashless economy. A recent report by PwC and Strategy& says worldwide cashless transactions are set to increase by more than 80% by 2025 and almost triple by 2030.

Even before Covid-19, cashless payments were on the increase. And the pandemic further accelerated this trend. So it seems that the old saying “cash is king” will no longer be valid soon.
