There's an alternative to relying on the private sector, which is for cash to be replaced with credit notes. The Irish bank strikes of the early 70s is a nice case study of this happening [1]. I've recently been thinking about a potential solution to the reliance on private institutions in a cashless society. I guess the problem with a "mobile chequebook" or something of the sort is that you are always to some extent dependent on a private service (e.g. phone signal provider).
