How often do you use cash?

9 August 2022

During the pandemic we saw a decline in the use of cash, with people favouring other methods of payment, such as contactless. However, it seems more people are turning back to cash as a way to keep tighter control of their spending in the wake of the cost of living crisis, according to new research from the Post Office.

We want to find out how cashless our society is now, and whether people are using cash more or less than they were six months ago.
