Cash remains an important part of the global payments ecosystem, even as consumers increasingly adopt cards, mobile wallets, and other digital payment methods. Understanding the global role of cash requires access to reliable information about how physical currency is used by consumers, businesses, and financial institutions across different markets.
To make that information easier to find, ATMIA has launched an online global cash repository that brings together research, reports, infographics, articles, videos, white papers, presentations, and other resources. By consolidating cash-related data and analysis in one location, the repository is designed to provide the payments industry with a clearer picture of cash usage, trends, and its continuing role in society.
ATMIA today announced the launch of a new online global cash repository, a site storing in one place a wide range of current data and information about the global role of cash in society, from a variety of sources.
In the repository, there are deposit boxes for reports, infographics, articles, videos, white papers, presentations and position papers about cash, as well useful links and FAQs.
“So much nonsense is written, spoken and speculated about cash that it’s important to have a repository like this where the real data, the real trends and information about the real role of cash in society can be stored and accessed,” explained Mike Lee, CEO of ATMIA. “It’s a treasury of the truth about global cash.”
Lee thanked Eric Cross of ATMIA and Chris Anderson of Networld Media Group for their outstanding contributions to the design and population of the cash repository.

The launch of ATMIA’s global cash repository provides the industry with a centralized resource for examining the evolving role of physical currency. As debate continues over the future of cash and the growth of digital payments, having access to current research and data can help financial institutions, ATM operators, policymakers, and other stakeholders better understand how payment preferences are changing.
The global cash repository can also provide valuable context for discussions about financial inclusion, consumer payment choice, ATM access, and the broader cash ecosystem. While digital payments continue to expand, cash remains relevant in many markets and for many consumers. Bringing research and information together in one location should make it easier for industry participants to evaluate those trends based on available data rather than assumptions about the disappearance of cash.
