According to the latest data from UK Finance, six billion cash payments were made in 2023 (that’s transactions in cash, not £6 billion-worth of payments in cash). So congratulations to the hard working team at Cash Access UK for rushing to set up the hubs. But over at the Post Office, their staff are already exceptionally busy offering cash services. I asked Natalie Ceeney CBE, who wrote the report, for her views on cash access, six years on from publication. It secures access to essential cash services at Post Office branches for at least the next five years, protecting a key part of the UK’s cash infrastructure.”
