In 2024, Cash Out Day was a major success with ATM companies and banks noticing a big spike in the numbers of withdrawals.
Banks and government got the message that millions of Australians do NOT want cash to disappear.
Since then, Australia's extremely profitable banks have committed to keep bank branches open (for a few years) and the government has committed to a cash mandate from 1 January 2026.
People power works. We took a stand and showed how much popular support cash enjoys - and the politicians and banks responded.
But it's not enough. The cash mandate will allow 97% of retailers to go cashless. The cash mandate must cover all retailers, not just those selling 'essential' goods and services.
This year, withdraw cash from your local ATM, bank branch or supermarket on TUESDAY 22nd APRIL 2025. Together we can make our voice heard.
Tell your friends: Cash Out Day is Tuesday 22nd April 2025.
Thanks
