The way we handle money has fundamentally changed. According to UK Finance, cash now accounts for only 11% of payments and is expected to drop to 6% by 2033. Importantly, this shift includes everyone; contactless adoption among the over-65s grew by 14% last year.
For charities, moving away from the collection bucket is now a matter of growth. Donors giving contactlessly tend to be more generous, with average gifts often exceeding £10, compared to just £3.50 in cash.
