Going Cashless with Digital Currencies

In this episode of The Bankers' Bookshelf, Paolo Sironi hosts Richard Turrin, author of "Cashless," as part of the Bankers’ Bookshelf series. They discuss the shift towards a cashless society driven by Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and fintech innovations. Turrin explains how CBDCs could reduce reliance on credit cards, lower transaction fees, and streamline commercial payments, while also benefiting financial stability. They also explore the risks and opportunities for banks, and how countries like China are leading in this transformation. Turrin highlights the future of less cash, improved payment systems, and the societal impact of digital currencies.
