Dear Amber,
The new wave of lockdowns across Australia has resulted in a slowdown in the pace of the recovery. Despite this setback, it has never been more important to remember how quickly things can change. With the vaccine rollout still scheduled to ramp up in September, we can all look forward to greater certainty in the near future.
The Reserve Bank of Australia has recently released in its June 2021 Bulletin research into the travel required by Australians to access cash. This insightful piece demonstrated potential opportunities for the industry in regional areas and draws attention to the impact that internal consolidation has had on overall access to cash. The article also made apt points about the importance of cash for regional areas without reliable internet connections and emphasised that cash remains an important payment method in Australia.
