Will cashlessness prompt a rise in business banking for merchants?

Cashless payments were on the rise way before the pandemic. However, COVID-19 has forced consumers to abandon notes and coins in favour of mobile and contactless card payments. Recently, Nationwide revealed that, in a poll of 2,000 Brits, more than a quarter have gone two or more months without using cash. In addition, the usage of ATMs has seen an unprecedented drop of nearly 80% in some countries.

Although the pandemic may not be the final nail in the cash-coffin, the vast majority of payments are now digital – whether face-to-face or online. And while this is great for digital payment providers (and the taxman), merchants must now ensure their business models and payment methods are in line with consumers’ cashless expectations.

The coronavirus pandemic – which has hit the big metaphorical ‘pause’ button on the world – has seen routines upended, travelling coming to a grinding halt in order to curb the spread of the virus, and the world of work flipped on its head.

With governments around the world advising or mandating that people remain at home, commutes to the office have gone from a 90-minute balancing act on a crowded train amongst throngs of commuters, to a 10-minute shuffle from the bed to the kitchen table.

So how has GPS helped our staff navigate this strange “new normal” and what lessons might there be for the future?
