That didn't change during the pandemic, despite the push by some merchants to discourage customers from paying with cash.\r\n\r\nSome consumer advocates believe consumers carrying less cash is just fine with banks, which make money from credit card and debit card swipe fees paid by the merchant (not to mention revenue from customers who may pay late fees, carry interest-bearing\u00a0 balances or overdraft their accounts).\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s not illegal for businesses to flat out refuse cash in most cities and states. Now, numerous consumer advocacy groups are supporting proposed federal legislation, the Payment Choice Act<\/a>, that would ban brick-and-mortar retailers from refusing to accept cash. More than 20 percent of consumers don\u2019t have a strong relationship with a bank, meaning they may not have a debit card, credit card or checking account. These are the people most affected when restaurants and stores ban cash.\r\n\r\nBut despite the rise of debit cards over the last 25 years and person-to-person online or mobile payments (Paypal, Venmo, Zelle) in the last decade, cash rules, at least for now. A recent study before COVID found 83 percent of consumers said they\u2019d used cash in the last 30 days to make a purchase or pay a bill, making it the most commonly used form of payment, according to Javelin Strategy & Research, a nationally known consumer finance research firm. Credit cards, used by 72 percent of Americans in the previous 30 days, placed second on the list.\r\n\r\nFurther data shows that cash is the payment of choice for nearly half of low-cost purchases. In 2019, people used cash for 47 percent of transactions under $10 and for 40 percent of payments between $10 and $25, according to the Federal Reserve.\r\n\r\nNew York City became one of the latest large cities to require most stores and restaurants to accept cash starting back in 2020, following Philadelphia and San Francisco, which last year required brick-and-mortar businesses to take cash.\r\n\r\nAs various cities and states and Congress weigh whether to protect the use of cash, it\u2019s a good time to look at the pros and cons of various methods of payment:\r\n

              3. You do have some protections from fraud under federal law, but the protections are not nearly as good as with credit cards. Under the\u00a0Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA)<\/a>, if your debit card is stolen and you report the loss before it\u2019s used fraudulently, you have no liability.

                1. You put your bank account at risk since your debit card is connected to it. This is especially bad if it\u2019s your primary or only bank account. You\u2019re exposing your direct deposits and the money you use to pay your mortgage or rent, your bills, etc. A better alternative: Link a debit card to a secondary checking account that you don\u2019t use for direct deposits or that contains most of your money, or use a reloadable prepaid debit card, as long as it doesn\u2019t carry monthly fees or other costly fees.<\/li>\r\n \t
                2. If you encounter fraudulent transactions or billing errors and that causes checks or electronic payments to bounce, you have no guaranteed protection under the law from overdraft fees.<\/li>\r\n \t

                4. If you have a billing error or fraud, you\u2019re fighting to get your own money back and until you get it back, other checks or payments could bounce.

                5. While you can\u2019t be charged overdraft fees for one-time purchases unless you\u2019ve opted in to allow them, you could be charged a fee for a recurring payment if you don\u2019t have enough money in your checking account.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>"}]}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_wysiwyg","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_wysiwyg":{"content":"
