According to the latest Post Office Cash Tracker data, nearly 40 million cash transactions—including withdrawals and deposits—were conducted in the first quarter of the year. This represents an increase of almost one million transactions, or 2% year-on-year, marking the highest number recorded in a first quarter. Retirees receiving state pensions from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) are a significant factor behind this resurgence in cash usage.
