In 2015, TEHA created the Cashless Society Community
A high-level platform to generate ideas and content regarding cashless payments and promote constructive discussion between the business community and institutions in the spirit of developing concrete actions to benefit the nation.
The Observatory of the Cashless Society Community offers an overview on the dissemination of electronic payments in the world, in Europe and in Italy.

What does cashless mean?
A "cashless society" is one in which "cash, in the form of physical banknotes and coins, is not accepted in any financial transaction" (source: Britannica). A cashless payment is made by card or electronic payment and ensures a greater traceability, transparency, and security.
Through the #CashlessRevolution campaing we inform and create awareness around benefits and misbeliefs on electronic payments.

Cashless payment instruments are playing an increasingly central role in business and society. Italy can narrow the digital gap with other European countries by taking advantage of the opportunities offered by cashless payment systems to obtain major benefits: enhanced transaction security, reduction in the cost of money, surfacing of the underground economy and stimulus for consumption and business.
