card readers could be introduced as an alternate payment method to cash.<\/p>\n<p>Bront\u00eb said: &#8220;The difficulty with contactless card readers is that most of them need a smartphone which quite a lot of our vendors don&#8217;t have.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We use SumUp which also requires proof of address so that excludes our homeless vendors, and because of that part of what they needed was ID.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Studies from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankofengland.co.uk\/quarterly-bulletin\/2020\/2020-q4\/cash-in-the-time-of-covid\">The Bank of England<\/a> shows that in 2019 only 23% of transactions across England were completed using cash, with people preferring to use debit cards and digital payments like Apple Pay.<\/p>\n<p>During the pandemic, the use of cash in transactions has decreased because of the risk of further spreading the virus through banknotes the study also shows.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<figure class=\"image file-default media-element\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

public.<\/p>\n<p>This allows vendors to learn to budget and ensure all the magazines are sold and not wasted, but also boosts their self-esteem so that vendors do not have to rely on charity.<\/p>\n<p>BI North takes pride in being a social enterprise that gives independence to vendors and allows them to take control over their lives.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the magazine, you can find news
