Cashless Cities
summary
Singapore claims 60% of transactions cashless, 40% cash and reports a 90% preference for cashless payments, yet small hawker stalls hold out because of tax and cash-flow barriers for hawkers and delayed settlements; an integrated mobility app links scooters, buses and taxis and a taxi solution ties each payment to a driver ID so crews get paid the next day (taxi settlement tied to driver ID for next-day pay). National QR rollout spawns dozens of wallets, deposits from failed bike operators wipe out ~S$10M, and proposals range from personal data pods to satellite-driven microinsurance.
