For some people, the days of keeping cash in their pockets are long gone. Contactless cards especially mean many transactions can just be done with a ‘beep’. So we wanted to test how cashless our society is now, and who’s using it.Did you vote? Are you surprised at the results so far? Have your say below.

There is no risk of losing money due to contactless because the bank will refund any fraudulent transactions no questions asked. I've never had any contactless fraud and i have many cards with the functionality. The risk is very low considering you have to actually lose your card in the first place.
I also put change in charity boxes.
There are still a number of cafes in our part of the world which are cash only.

OH is waiting for a visit from the chiropodist, cash only.
I have a new pedicurist who does home visits, cash only.
Some shops still have a minimum transaction for cards so if I am spending less than this it’s cash again.
