We support access to cash services for everyone
The Eurosystem wants citizens and businesses to have access to their own money, whatever their preferences and payment needs.
We support access to cash services for everyone
The Eurosystem wants citizens and businesses to have access to their own money, whatever their preferences and payment needs. Credit institutions therefore have a social responsibility to provide cash services to citizens and businesses, including cash withdrawals that are free or incur only a reasonable fee. We also support retailers providing complementary cash services such as “cash back” or facilitating limited cash withdrawals and deposits. Finally, we support the banking sector in dealing with sudden surges in demand for banknotes and make sure that cash can function as a fall-back payment instrument in case electronic payments are temporarily unavailable.
