Hi Seller Community,

I thought I’d share the latest post from our Australian Town Square blog, which takes a look into the increase in cashless payments in Australia in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic:

How the Coronavirus Pandemic has Changed Cashless Payments in Australia

Pre-COVID, Australia was already a world leader in cashless payments and early adopter of contactless technology. Square has recently crunched the numbers on transactions made in the first 6 months of 2020, which (perhaps unsurprisingly!) show a sharp rise in card payments alongside a decrease in cash payments, as businesses take a safety-first approach of minimising or forgoing the handling of physical cash.

Check out the article here and join the discussion below!

How has your business changed the way you’re handling cash during the pandemic?
Has your business become cash free during COVID?
What do you think are the pros and cons of moving towards a cashless economy?

Got a hot take? We’d love to hear it 🙂
