"KEEP CASH AT HOME"

After the meeting, the Dutch Banking Association will, for the first time, advise the public to keep cash at home due to the increasing geopolitical tensions in the world. Various social groups, including consumer unions, elderly organizations, and payment associations, will also be included in the discussions on this matter. The meeting will address how much cash and which denominations will be needed in case of a potential issue. Additionally, it will be discussed how financial transactions can be conducted in the event of problems with payment infrastructures.

The Dutch Association of Insurers, in a related statement, warned that keeping large amounts of cash at home could increase the risk of theft.
