“Cashless” Is DEAD In Sweden!

Posted on: 23/03/2026

Brilliant news from Sweden!

The Swedish government has submitted a bill to parliament that requires grocery stores and pharmacies to accept cash.

And why?

Because the Government has realised that a “cashless” Sweden cannot be fully inclusive or completely resilient.

The same, of course, is absolutely true of the UK!

Time for Keir Starmer and Rt Hon Rachel Reeves to discover the wisdom and good sense of the Swedish Government and to bring in legislation making the acceptance of cash obligatory in the UK.

This will not cause an issue for the majority of businesses in the UK. A LINK Scheme survey recently revealed that 77% of UK businesses continue to accept cash, although that % is decreasing fast.

Far fewer businesses in Sweden currently accept cash BUT the Swedish Government does not consider that an obstacle for their legislation.

The British Government clearly has even less reason to be concerned in this respect!

So just get on with it, Prime Minister!

The British public are growing VERY impatient with your procrastination - and so are we!
