About this episode

In this conversation lesson plan, we will examine some of the challenging debates surrounding this topic and focus on presenting the advantages and disadvantages of an inevitable cashless society.

Is the banking system simply favouring the younger generation? After all, post-COVID, they have profited from inheritance and now have more disposable wealth. 

Hello and welcome to this episode of One2one Podcasts. With society leaning towards a cashless society, banks have decided to close high street branches in a move that will probably put an end to the way cash flows through economies. 

The older generation will be cut off from traditional banking and rely on help and assistance with everyday tasks. 

In this conversation lesson plan, we will examine some of the challenging debates surrounding this topic and focus on presenting the advantages and disadvantages of an inevitable cashless society.
