Despite writing regularly about how important cash is for many, I rarely use notes and coins. </p><p>I’ve become so accustomed to paying by card or my phone app, <a class="ck-custom-link" href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/consumer-affairs/millionaire-spend-my-money-lime-bikes-diet-coke-eggs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">I don’t even carry “emergency” cash with me</a>. My idea of an emergency backstop is the debit card buried somewhere at the bottom of my bag. </p><p>I’m certainly not alone in this. Cash now accounts for just 12pc of all payments, according to UK Finance, and will make up just 6pc by 2033. More than 6,000 bank branches have closed since 2015. </p><p>Jana Mackintosh, managing director of payments, innovations and resilience, at industry body UK Finance said of the figures: “This doesn’t mean we are on our way to becoming a cashless society… although we are using it less, and more people are leading largely cashless lives.” </p><p>Londoners in particular have embraced cashless lives. In 2019, residents of the capital withdrew £300m weekly from its 6,559 ATMs – but in 2024, just £210m is taken out every week, from 4,824 ATMs. </p><p>Many major <a class="ck-custom-link" href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/consumer-affairs/london-best-pub-fighting-back-war-on-cash-skehans-nunhead/">chains have scrapped cash payments entirely</a> – as they are allowed to do – as customers demand to be able to pay by card instead. </p><p>So when my editor sent me out to buy lunch for £10 in cash in the mean streets near Bank in the City of London, I was expecting it to be difficult. It is the heart of the financial district, where decisions about the future of cash are made. But the office workers on their break aren’t carrying notes with them.</p><p>The first ATM I try is out of service. The average Londoner lives just 350 meters from a cash machine, much closer than the three miles mandated for those living in rural areas. </p><p>So there’s another one a short walk away. </p> </div> </div> <figure data-js="article-body-image" data-test="article-body-image" class="article-body-image section"> <div class="article-body-image__container"> <picture class="article-body-image__source "> <source srcset="/content/dam/business/2024/07/25/TELEMMGLPICT000386609247_17219017223870_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqgsaO8O78rhmZrDxTlQBjdLdu0TL-Cg_AMOUqySXmFgU.jpeg?imwidth=960" media="( min-width: 1280px )"/> <source srcset="/content/dam/business/2024/07/25/TELEMMGLPICT000386609247_17219017223870_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqgsaO8O78rhmZrDxTlQBjdLdu0TL-Cg_AMOUqySXmFgU.jpeg?imwidth=680" media="( min-width: 768px )"/> <source srcset="/content/dam/business/2024/07/25/TELEMMGLPICT000386609247_17219017223870_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqgsaO8O78rhmZrDxTlQBjdLdu0TL-Cg_AMOUqySXmFgU.jpeg?imwidth=480&imdensity=2" media="( min-width: 350px ) and ( -webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2 )"/> <source srcset="/content/dam/business/2024/07/25/TELEMMGLPICT000386609247_17219017223870_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqgsaO8O78rhmZrDxTlQBjdLdu0TL-Cg_AMOUqySXmFgU.jpeg?imwidth=480" media="( min-width: 350px )"/> <img src="/content/dam/business/2024/07/25/TELEMMGLPICT000386609247_17219017223870_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqgsaO8O78rhmZrDxTlQBjdLdu0TL-Cg_AMOUqySXmFgU.jpeg?imwidth=350" loading="lazy" alt="A cash machine that is out of order." width="2500" height="1563"/> </picture> </div> <figcaption class="e-caption u-meta e-caption--has-separator " data-js="caption"> <span data-test="caption"> The first ATM Madeleine Ross visited was taped off </span> <span class="e-caption__credit" data-test="credit"> <span class="e-caption__credit-description">Credit</span>: Belinda Jiao </span> </figcaption> </figure> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text " data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Determined to be more adventurous than my typical meal deal (a caesar wrap, sausage roll from the Sainsbury’s hot counter and a smoothie for nutrition), I eschew the supermarkets, which have long promised to continue to accept cash.</p><p>But searching for a more upmarket sandwich that I can buy with cash is no easy feat. Joe and the Juice, Blank Street Coffee and Black Sheep Coffee only have card readers, with the former sporting a slightly tattered pink sticker on its front door advertising this fact. </p><p>For a healthy alternative, I could have chosen Garbanzos, a falafel and salad bar with its glitzy self-checkouts.
