Payment Choice Alliance
The top priority of the Payment Choice Alliance is to ensure the British public get the Payment Choice they deserve.
How do the Alliance know what the British public believe they deserve?
WE ASKED THEM.
YouGov conducted a survey on behalf of the Payment Choice Alliance in early June 2023.
That survey revealed that only 3% of the UK adult population have stopped using cash entirely. This in turn means than over 50 million adults continue to use cash.
So cash remains of great interest to the vast majority of the British public.
The survey also told us that 88% of the public do NOT support the UK becoming a so-called “cashless” society.
And how about a UK Payment Choice Act?
The survey confirmed that 71% of the British public want a law put in place to guarantee they cash can use their cash, where and when they choose.
And that law is what the Payment Choice Alliance will work very hard to deliver!
The Payment Choice Alliance was very busy at the 2024 Labour Party Conference!
It was a GREAT event for the Alliance, with so many people supporting Payment Choice. And one of them was the Secretary of State for Scotland and Cabinet Member, Ian Murray. Ian is definitely against “cashless”, believing cash continues to have a vital role to play in the British economy - and for the British public. It’s wonderful to have a Payment Choice supporter in the Cabinet, at the heart of the British government.
Watch the video to get all of Ian Murray’s views!
Ron Delnevo from the PCA appeared last month in front of the Jersey Economic and International Affairs Panel, to discuss the need to protect cash acceptance and cash access on the island.
This was wonderful example of Democracy at work. Jersey can be proud of the process.
Another example of Democracy at work is the group supporting cash, set up by Nina Morgan, on Facebook - “Jersey CI.Cash is king”. There are now over 4000 Jersey residents who are members of this group. They and every other person on Jersey deserve Payment Choice.
The Jersey government has the opportunity to lead the way for the whole UK in terms of mandating cash acceptance.
Let’s hope they take it.
