Consumers want to continue paying cash in future, according to a survey by the Federation of German Consumer Organisations (VZBV). While cashless payment providers aim to squeeze cash out of the market, VZBV says this is not what consumers want and are calling on the government to future-proof cash.
Conducting over a thousand interviews with citizens aged 18 and over, VZBV found 75 percent of people want to retain a choice of whether to use cash or other payment options. This is a three percent increase over their 2019 survey.
