Dear Subscriber,

Our lead story this newsletter is all about the future of payments and what newer payment methods mean for good old cash. Spoiler: it’s not good. Cash will be forced to hand over its title as the most popular payment method to debit cards in the next five years, according to a new report from Payments UK.

Elsewhere, we take a quick look at recent data from Barclaycard that shows where the British public liked to pay using contactless payments and Samsung Pay is putting pressure on Apple in China by partnering with the payments giant Alipay.

Finally, watch out for our brand new interactive newsletter that will go out every Wednesday! We’ll have the latest episodes from our FinTalk podcast series, some informative payment quizzes to get your neurons firing and a roundup of five of the most interesting payments stories of the last seven days. It won’t be one to miss!

Enjoy!
