Active participation of the vzbv in the National Cash Forum for barrier-free access to cash
The board member of the Federal Association of Consumer Organizations (vzbv), Ramona Pop, emphasizes the importance of barrier-free access to cash for consumers. This access should be organized efficiently and protected by law, says Pop. As a representative of consumers, vzbv is actively involved in shaping access to cash in the future.
The Bundesbank's National Cash Forum, which started on February 16th, is intended to facilitate the exchange of cash issues between various stakeholders in the cash cycle in Germany. The vzbv is strongly committed to maintaining the acceptance and availability of cash and calls for a legal obligation to accept cash.
Ramona Pop emphasizes the need for consumers to continue to have the choice between cash and digital payments. Cash payments are simple, anonymous, data-efficient and can be used flexibly. The National Cash Forum is intended to make an important contribution to ensuring the future viability of paying with cash, which is of great importance for consumers.
