Friday saw the largest year-on-year fall in volumes of July so far (-10%), reversing the recent trend for smaller reductions. This was down to the month end, in 2025 it was the last Friday of the month, payday for many, but this year they will have to wait until the end of this week.

#Cash_acceptance is a global issue. In Australia, major supermarkets and gas stations must now accept #cash for AU$500 or less, 7am - 9pm. In the UK, not an imposition as they all still accept cash. Some odd exclusions, eg pharmacies. #accesstocash www.choice.com.au/shopping/con...
