Cash payments, less susceptible to being controlled by the government than digital payments, are being completely replaced by card payments, transfers or other electronic means. Should we be concerned? What options are there on the market? We talk about it with Iu Alemany, Head of Customer Service at 11Onze, in a new episode of La Pla\u00e7a, Territori 17’s radio show.<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Advances in technology, the rise of online shopping and the digitisation of finance have led to the popularity of electronic means of payment. Many countries have already started<\/span> a transition process with the aim of phasing out cash payments<\/b> to the point of their possible total disappearance in the not-too-distant future.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the one hand, the new generations of digital natives are more used to paying via mobile phone or smartwatch than with cash. On the other hand, <\/span>governments see a good opportunity to fight the black economy and tax fraud <\/b>by restricting cash payments that are more difficult to trace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, more and more limits are being imposed on cash payments, such as the European Union limiting cash purchases to 10,000 euros, or the Spanish state going much further by <\/span>banning cash transactions of more than 1,000 euros<\/b> in cases where one of the parties is acting in a professional capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
