Submission to HM Treasury’s call for evidence: Access to Cash

25 November 2020

Read our submission to HM Treasury’s call for evidence on Access to Cash. This submission states that many people with mental health problems prefer to use cash over other payment methods because it can help them budget or stay in control of their spending.

It is therefore, important that people with mental health problems can continue to access and use cash.
