The concept of cashless society refers to an economic state in which financial transactions are executed in an electronic format and without banknotes. According to a nationally representative survey among consumers in the United Kingdom conducted in November 2018, more than one third of people advise coping in a cashless society would be hard or impossible for them. In contrast, approximately 14 percent of respondents advised that losing cash would be a minor inconvenience in their life.
