Finding an ATM in Norway is a nightmare! Well, finding one in Bergen is. Norway is really trying to go to a complete cashless society, because trying to deal with cash is such a hassle. This was all so annoying 🤦🏾♂️ and trying to contact banks is near impossible, they’re never open. 😫 Welcome to Norway! 🇳🇴

Is a cashless society good for people or bad?
Benefits:
1. Convenience:
- Faster and more efficient transactions.
- Reduces the need to carry physical money and visit banks or ATMs.
- Easier to track spending and manage finances through digital records.
2. Reduced Crime:
- Lowers the risk of theft and loss associated with carrying cash.
- Makes it harder for criminals to launder money or evade taxes.
3. Economic Efficiency:
- Reduces costs associated with printing, transporting, and securing cash.
- Facilitates better economic oversight and reduces the shadow economy.
4. Improved Government and Business Operations:
- Simplifies tax collection and improves compliance.
- Enhances the ability to provide and monitor social benefits and subsidies.
Drawbacks:
1. Exclusion Risks:
- People without access to banking or digital services, such as the elderly, low-income groups, and those in rural areas, may be marginalized.
- Potential difficulties for those lacking digital literacy.
2. Privacy Concerns:
- Digital transactions can be tracked, leading to privacy issues.
- Increased risk of data breaches and identity theft.
3. Technical and Security Challenges:
- Dependency on digital infrastructure which can fail or be targeted by cyber-attacks.
- Potential for financial systems to be disrupted by technical issues or power outages.
4. Loss of Anonymity:
- Every transaction leaves a digital footprint, reducing the anonymity afforded by cash.
In summary, while a cashless society offers significant benefits in terms of convenience, efficiency, and crime reduction, it also raises important concerns about inclusivity, privacy, and security. Balancing these factors is crucial for ensuring that the transition to cashless systems benefits everyone equitably.
