 | Cash works for people who are unbanked – they have developed mechanisms that allow them to operate in the cash economy, so why “fix” a system that is not broken?      | Digital payment services can bring huge cost savings and increase efficiency for payers. They are also often cheaper or the only access option for payees, especially in remote areas and rural communities |
 | People like cash because it is tangible (unlike a digital wallet) and is accepted anywhere, which is important for functioning in local market economies.              | Digital financial services allow people to manage their money, better control how they use their funds, save for unpredictable needs such as health and emergencies, and invest in business opportunities and in their household |
-| Cash can be cheaper because the ecosystem around it is mature versus a still growing digital systems, where players in the value chain are still looking for ways to get paid.  | Although cash is tangible and can be held in your hand, cash can be stolen or kickbacks required without a trace, which increases risks for people who use cash. |
