Jersey Parliament Votes For Compulsory Cash Acceptance!
This is HUGE news from Jersey!
The Jersey Parliament has voted that businesses MUST accept cash.
Although Jersey is not part of the UK, Jersey residents are British citizens.
Last week Sweden - the former poster-child of the “cashless” dictators - joined the the long list of countries in Europe that have given their citizen’s the right to use their cash, when and where they choose.
AND NOW JERSEY HAS JOINED THE LIST!
Meantime, the current UK Government simple repeats the failures of the previous discredited administration by doing absolutely ZERO.
This is completely unacceptable and untenable given the numerous precedents set by the UK’s neighbours, including France, Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain - AND NOW EVEN JERSEY!
Why do the British public deserve less rights than the citizens of ALL of our near neighbours?
Why does the British £ - the only Payment System the UK owns and controls - not deserve the same protections in terms of acceptance as the Euro and, amongst others, the Swedish krona?
The Payment Choice Alliance will be writing to Prime Minister Starmer to demand IMMEDIATE action.
All supporters of the Alliance are urged to contact their own MPs to do the same!
Brits must no longer be treated as 2nd Class Citizens!
The Payment Choice Alliance Declares “ War On Cashless” In 2026!
The top priority of the Payment Choice Alliance is to ensure the British public get the Payment Choice they deserve.
Over 50 million adults in the UK continue to use cash, often or occasionally.
Over 70% of the British public believe cash is vital to personal freedom and want a law passed guaranteeing they can use their cash, when and where they choose.
Over 70% of MPs support UK cash acceptance legislation, obliging businesses to accept cash.
These are ALL figures from recent survey’s.
So far, the UK Government has done absolutely NOTHING to respect the wishes of the British public, even though their own MPs are FIRMLY against “cashless”.
Just in the last two weeks, Sweden and, most recently, Jersey have joined the list of the UK’s neighbours that will legally oblige businesses to accept cash.
France and Spain were already on that list.
The British public are being treated as 2nd Class Citizens.
That will end in 2026 - and so will “cashless”!
The Netherlands Central Bank - and Government - Show True Support For Cash!
Whilst in the UK the Bank of England, HM Treasury and Financial Conduct Authority continue to attempt to contrive that the National Payments “Vision”(?) turns a blind eye to cash, it is refreshing to hear how the Netherlands Central Bank and Government have already taken dynamic steps to guarantee cash is both readily accessible and accepted.
The level of collaboration between all strands of society in the Netherlands - including consumer representatives and commercial banks - is breathtaking. As has been the willingness of the Netherlands Central Bank and Government to decisively intervene to produce outcomes clearly in the public interest in relation to cash.
There is now a position in the Netherlands where ATM operators are properly rewarded for delivering cash to the public, which effectively guarantees convenient cash access will be provided, AND a law has been passed to ensure businesses must accept the publics cash.
All this has been achieved since the start of 2024 - so not the seemingly interminable procrastination which is the hallmark of the UK.
The Payment Choice Alliance has pledged to the British public that their cash WILL be accepted FOREVER.
No procrastination, however scheming, can ever be allowed to deny the British public what they WANT and NEED.
The Legendary Lynne Franks Supports The Payment Choice Alliance!
WE COMPLETELY AGREE.
