People around the world are being encouraged to take three simple steps on March 12: Get Cash. Carry Cash. Pay Cash.

On Thursday, March12, organisations and individuals across the world will mark Global Cash Day, a global initiative highlighting the continued importance of cash.

This year’s message is simple: Cash is as easy as 1-2-3. In a rapidly changing payments landscape, cash remains trusted, reliable and widely used by billions of people around the world.

Pay Cash – 1-2-3

Global Cash Day encourages people everywhere to get cash, carry cash and pay cash. Withdraw cash from an ATM, bank or other access point, keep it with you, and use it for everyday purchases on March 12.

Participants are invited to share their support online using #PayCash and #GetCash.

Why Cash Still Matters

Cash continues to support payment choice, financial inclusion and economic resilience. It is reliable during outages or disruptions and remains a trusted way for many people to manage and control their spending.

A Global Movement

Global Cash Day brings together organisations, businesses, advocates and consumers who believe that access to cash and the freedom to use it should remain part of a healthy and inclusive payments system.

Whether buying a coffee, paying for groceries or supporting a local shop, the message is clear: on March 12 — choose cash.

Taking part is simple. On 12 March, withdraw some cash, carry it with you and choose to pay with cash during the day. Then share your participation online using #PayCash and #GetCash.
