Cash in the time of Covid: why we need to listen to the experts to protect this vital payment method
Covid-19 has had a huge impact on almost every area of our lives: from travel to shopping, the economy to health services. Understandably, these are emotive issues – things that we previously may have taken for granted are now being put under enormous pressure at a time when people are very anxious. Amid the uncertainty, there is a danger that some topics may be sensationalised without any real basis in scientific evidence. One of these is the use of cash as a payment method.
Covid 19- A Booster for Digital Transformation!!
While Covid19 has created ruckus within the human society across religions/races/geographies/countries/continents, this can change the business models, working cultures and journeys of digital transformation within an enterprise for the future.

In addition to disruptions to traditional business models, emerging technologies are also optimizing the way traditional work gets done. One trend that’s gaining particular traction in financial services is biometric identification systems.
Cash use prior to the 23rd century
Natalie Ceeney’s recently published UK Access to Cash review asks us to consider the implications of a society where physical cash doesn’t exist. It got me thinking of a video clip I used to open a recent conference presentation. It’s a scene from one of the more forgettable Star Trek movies. Captain Jean Luc Picard is chatting to his current romantic interest who, for reasons too convoluted to get into, hails from the mid-90s earth.
A look inside Ernest Hemingway’s estate near Havana, Finca Vigia
When he was not writing letters or working on the books that earned him the Nobel Prize, Ernest Hemingway wrote notes, in pencil, on his walls and in the margins of many of the 8,000 books in his library. At his estate near Havana, Finca Vigia, known as Muséo Hemingway since 1962, Hemingway wrote margin notes in “thousands of books,” according to museum officials.
