British Retail Consortium Cost of Collections Survey 2011 has found that paying with cash is more common than it was a year ago. Cash was used in 5.7 per cent more transactions in 2011.
Why is this significant for retailers? Cash payments are on average 24 times cheaper for retailers than credit card payments.
The average cost to a retailer of having a credit or a charge card payment processed was 36.2 pence and 9.6 pence for a debit card. In stark contrast, the cost of having cash transported and banked was just 1.5 pence.
