“ATM withdrawals and branch visits are slowly declining, while mobile transactions are increasing dramatically year over year.”
The survey also found that consumers aren’t carrying much cash with them or using it for payments on a frequent basis. Overall, half (50%) of the respondents said they carry cash less than half of the time.
