Pour les consommateurs d'étude surtout !!!
The majority of consumers surveyed in 13 countries on behalf of MasterCard believe that one day there will be a cashless society. The survey found that globally consumers agree that they do not like to carry large amounts of cash, MasterCard says.
The “Global Cash Usage” survey was carried out by KRC Research between August and October 2007. Countries involved in the survey included the UK, U.S., Germany, Canada, Australia, South Korea and China.
A majority of respondents (56 percent) told KRC believe that one day the world will be a cashless society where credit and debit cards will replace cash and checks for payments. Two-thirds (75 percent) of respondents believe that it is no longer necessary to have lots of cash on hand.
Two-thirds (66 percent) of respondents use cash less often than five years ago to make purchases. About half (49 percent) of respondents are likely to use a contactless card if provided by their financial institution, MasterCard says.
