Source? Also how is it related to the EU if it only affects certain places? Could have just said certain places in Europe | ||

Illegal would by a hyperbole. But the noose is tightening a bit. There are upcoming limits for cash transactions (10K, countries can opt to go lower), and strong requirements for identity verification at 3K or more euros in cash. See: https://www.deloittelegal.de/dl/en/services/legal/perspectiv... EDIT: The other side of the coin is that banks are _required_ to give legal residents of a country a basic account that can be used for payments. | ||

Also illegal in Denmark. You need a NemKonto by law. Also making cash payments over 15000 is illegal since 2024. So you can't make a large purchase without a bank transfer. | ||

Not illegal per se in Germany but you won't find a legal job that doesn't require you to have a bank account. Benefits will also only be paid electronically (exceptions for some asylum seekers apply). You also cannot get a tax refund or pay taxes without a bank account. | ||

Spain: you must be paid through a bank if you -have a steady contract -are paid more than 1000€ for a job (say you are self-employed). | ||
