If you’re homeless (and esp. if lacking ID), getting a bank account is a pretty tall order.

Cash is not illegal here, in fact shops are required by law to also accept cash.

However the homeless problem is virtually non existent in this country, same with the lack of id.

It's just so much more convenient to use digital payments that almost nobody use cash anymore.
