Uber introduces cash payments across Australia

Rideshare company Uber is introducing cash payment options for rides across Australia, responding to data showing cash still accounts for 15% of payments in the country. The Reserve Bank of Australia's Consumer Payments Survey reveals about half of Australians continue using cash during a typical week, with younger generations particularly using it as a budgeting tool. While digital payments remain dominant with 1.4 billion card purchases worth $100 billion in May, Australians withdrew $9.4 billion from ATMs in the same month.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
