If businesses prefer cashless transactions, what about allowing cash but with a premium? Similar to how some American businesses give a discount if you use cash. I also wonder what the transaction fees in Sweden are, compared to the rest of the world.


The cash premium already exists, since you can get some of the money from each purchase back on your credit card.


Only in some places; credit cards are relatively rare in Sweden (everyone uses debit cards), and rewards are generally mediocre at best.


On the other hand, some places offer discounts for cash, since they don't have to pay the credit card fee on the transaction.
