The burden of carrying cash due to high inflation is changing not only economic but also social traditions. Recently, many wedding invitations include IBAN information. Wedding hosts are asking guests not to bring cash, but instead to make transfers to the IBAN. Experts emphasize that the permanent solution lies in ensuring price stability rather than new banknotes.

The depreciation of the Turkish lira in the face of high inflation has led to changes not only in daily life but also in social traditions. The increasing difficulty of carrying cash has transformed the habit of giving jewelry and money at weddings.

THE "IBAN" DETAIL IN WEDDING INVITATIONS

Recently, many wedding invitations have started to include IBAN information. According to a report by Türkiye Gazetesi, guests are asked not to bring cash in envelopes, and invitations with notes saying "do not bring cash" are becoming increasingly common. While the jewelry ceremonies are turning into cash delivery ceremonies, banknotes that do not fit in the envelope pose a problem for the wedding hosts in terms of counting and storing the money. The increasing difficulty and security risks of carrying large amounts of cash are cited as the main reasons for this change. Therefore, transfers made via IBAN are emerging as a safer and easier option.

CASH'S PHYSICAL BURDEN IS CHANGING OUR HABITS

Economists explain the burden of carrying cash as a result of high inflation and the loss of purchasing power of the 200 TL banknote. While it is emphasized that card, contactless, and digital payments are more practical and secure, it is also noted that these methods should be used cautiously due to high interest rates and borrowing risks. According to experts, the permanent solution lies in ensuring price stability rather than introducing new banknotes.

Experts state that the increasing physical burden of cash affects not only the economy but also social habits. With the widespread adoption of digital payment methods, it is expected that sharing IBANs at weddings will be seen more frequently in the upcoming period.
