Finance expert Harry Wallop investigates the benefits of using cash as opposed to credit cards, revealing how people are withdrawing more from ATMs than at any time in the last five years. He also explores the theory that a move toward a cashless society is more about the profits of banks than the convenience of financially stretched consumers.
