Quarterly adoption of cash by consumers, online or offline, in the UK 2018-2024
The share of cash transactions at POS (Point-of-Sale) in United Kingdom declined by 21 percentage points between 2018 and 2024. This is according to two different questions asked throughout multiple surveys from Statista's Consumer Insights. The numbers shown here refer to a rolling 12-month share of respondents who indicated they used cash in a brick and mortar shop or whilst shopping online. In 2018, the share of respondents using cash transactions at POS (Point-of-Sale) stood at 82 percent, which declined to 63 percent in the third quarter of 2023. On the other hand, during the same period, the share of respondents paying cash in advance and cash on delivery for online payments rose by two and four percentage points, respectively.
