Valid conversation to figure who is/could be left out of a cashless society. It is better to handle the minority of edge cases than to keep cash around. There should be a system for the unhoused and migrants to be able to sign up for cashless payments rather than keeping cash around just for those few cases.
- dalke 2y agoI have a friend of mine (here in Sweden) who is very bad at keeping track of the money in her account. She prefers using cash because that way show knows exactly what she has. As for edge cases, the city I live in does provide a service to help retired people who have a bank account (and bank card) but no smartphone, and who need a way to pay for services like grocery delivery which are smartphone-only. (They have some method to turn it into a giro payment, but I don't know the details.)
