Sweden has a digitized economy. Without internet banking and BankID, it is not possible to pay bills and many shops do not accept cash. The future is cashless! Or? Not everyone is keeping up with this change, especially those who already have social or financial problems. The most common reason for being outside the digital economy is poverty. In the research project Cash, we have interviewed people who are dependent on cash. What are their experiences? In the talk, cash dependence in a digital world is discussed as a matter of social justice and the right to be able to pay.
