Tell us: have you started relying on cash for payments again in the UK?

Payments made using cash in the UK have increased for the first time in a decade, data shows.

Reversing years of decline, the banking body UK Finance said the cost of living crisis had prompted many people to turn back to physical money to help them budget.

We want to speak to people in the UK who use notes and coins for most of their transactions. Did you start to do it again recently? If so, why? When did you return to cash?

Alternatively, if you’ve never stopped using cash, tell us about why. Do you get paid in cash? Which payments do you tend to make this way?
