New five pound note

So if I hack your details from a company you've bought something from and use that to access and drain your account, your anti-fraud measures prevent this?

No, but you're not liable for that, the company and your bank are. You'll have some hassle getting it back, but the bank want hold you liable for all your money being nicked, because then no-one would bank with them. They want people to use cards and spend money online, because as you have stated, they make more money that way, so it's in their interests to ensure you are secure.

as someone who is a futurist, and tends to be a good 5 years ahead of the curve I am not a fan of physical money. That said, I have reluctantly mellowed in my old age and understand that the majority still require coins and paper currency to function. Based on that, I quite like it for what it is.

Give me untraceable payments and I'll be right with you. Unless it's anonymous then it's not functionally equivalent to cash.

But it can still happen...

My only problem with cash is that it quickly turns into coins.

I'm happy to take the coins off your hands if that helps?

That curve is interesting but it doesn't seem to be available for normal consumers yet. Any idea when it is rolling out for us normal folk?

 

[Johno please?]

Get rid of cheques more like, they're only for old people now and they can't even write them correctly, we had one at work bounce back the other day as the words part didn't match the numerical part, useless.

Looks fresh and new but looks like monopoly money.

Nice design but feels too plasticky.

Last time I checked there wasn't actually anything stopping you from signing up. There's no reason you can't get one.

My local drinking house is cash only, local takeaway is cash only

Just sounds like a tax dodge these days.

This. I'm sure people will get used to it with time but it just doesn't feel right.

Cash is still good for collection items and emergencies

Depends if you're happy paying 50p on every transaction under a tenner...

Just curious how you measure this?

Do places still do that? Most have realised that applying a charge means less customers.

Drinking house is a social club that publish their accounts annually, no dodge there.

Takeaways on the other hand, I thought that was standard practice.
