Fed: Cash declining but still popular
A survey from the Federal Reserve's Cash Product Office found that while cash is still the most popular form of payment, it is declining in popularity. According to the survey, cash was used in 40 percent of purchases in 2012 but just 32 percent of purchases in 2015.
The 2015 Diary of Consumer Payment Choice found that cash is particularly popular for small purchases, and it is used more than 60 percent of the time for a purchase of less than $10. According to the survey, debit cards are used for 27 percent of transactions and credit cards for 21 percent.
Electronic payments grew from 7 percent in 2012 to 11 percent in 2015, and they tend to be used for pricier purchases. In terms of total payment value: cash represented 9 percent of money spent in 2015; debit and credit cards represented 34 percent; and electronic payments represented 35 percent.

It takes about 30 times for a board to start to be in a new conversation before they start to get their brain rewired to embody the change [07:24] In merger conversations we lose sight of what is important for the member. We need to look at what the continuing organization will look like and what is the leadership the membership and continuing organization need and deserve. [12:39] An educated board and executive team are a sharper team. When you have sharper leaders in the organization good things come from that. [24:22] If we are not taking care of that relationship with the CEO then we are strategically hampered. With a good CEO evaluation, the board is higher performing, the CEO is more attentive to being high performing, and the relationship is high performing and more genitive.
