| | Unique Attributes of Cash
| |
|
Did you know that cash always works, unlike electronic and digital forms of payments which are sometimes offline? For cash users, cash is Plan A, while for all others cash becomes Plan B for when systems crash or are attacked by cyber fraudsters. Whether you’re a Plan A or a Plan B cash user, cash always works. And the settlement is done and dusted on the spot. During a crisis, cash works too, including in emergency situations when natural disasters, which are increasing in frequency, have destroyed or damaged infrastructure. Cash always works – for all demographic and income groups, too. No wonder ATMIA believes cash is so good!
