Cash Isn’t Dead: Why Payment Choice Still Matters

Cash isn’t going anywhere — and new data proves it.

In this episode of The Cash News Podcast, Tom Meehan and Brad Moody break down the latest survey results tied to the Payments Choice Act and what they reveal about how Americans feel about cash today.

They discuss why payment choice matters, how cash supports underbanked communities, and why privacy and resilience are becoming bigger drivers in the payments conversation. From budgeting habits to real-world outages that disrupt digital payments, this episode reinforces a simple truth: cash works when everything else doesn’t.

This is a short primer episode, with more to come — including upcoming guest conversations that will dig deeper into the findings.
