We may not be using cash as much - but we still love it. And it’s likely voters will choose to protect it in March.
More than 70 percent of the population opposes abolishing cash, according to the Swiss Payment Monitor.
Most people still carry banknotes for small everyday purchases.
With access to cash becoming more limited, a nationwide vote on March the 8th aims to guarantee its future.
Supporters say cash protects privacy and resilience in crises.
But for those who feel cash should remain, the Swiss National Bank says it’s important to keep using it. The Bank points out that as cash use falls, the number of ATMs will be cut and more businesses will stop taking it.
