Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions on Cash Innovation & Sustainability

A newly issued Cash Innovation whitepaper by Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions (KBBNS) takes a deeper look at why change and innovation are actually required in the way cash is organised and managed in society, while defining the problems that need to be fixed and how to fix them.

As the true ‘cost of cash’ in circulation becomes more evident and in particular the question of ‘who actually pays for cash?’ is answered, many stakeholders are asking fundamental questions about cash sustainability in the future, states the company.

In the whitepaper, KBBNS explains that existing cash cycle architectures were designed at a time when access to real time (and aggregate) data on where cash is in society and how it actually flows from one touchpoint to another was largely absent, rendering it impossible to optimise cash movements at a more local and less decentralised level.
