In this episode of The Z-X Spectrum, we sit down with Sarah John, Chief cashier of the Bank of England.
Hot off the heels of our interview with Meri Williams, Chief Technology Officer at Monzo, the online bank (you can hear that episode here) Sarah spoke to us about the future of cash - and the important role she believes it has in society, and in central banking.
We explored the impact of going cashless to vulnerable groups - older people and those on low incomes especially - and whether cash will ever become a thing of the past.
We also discussed how we educate children and young people about the value of money. Should cash continue to be a viable option in society?
A shorter than usual interview - we were so lucky to get some time at the Bank of England with Sarah who is exceptionally busy - but one that packed a lot in! So hope you enjoy it.
