Switzerland to have Cash Referendum- Why Not The UK?

Posted on: 19/01/2026

In March 2026, a Referendum on cash will be conducted in Switzerland.

Since the majority of the Swiss public want to have the option to use cash - to retain Payment Choice - the most likely outcome is:

“Yes to an independent and free Swiss currency with coins or banknotes (Cash is freedom)”

A UK Referendum would deliver exactly the same outcome.

Which is why it is unlikely the British public will ever be offered one!
