A letter signed by 37 MPs has been sent to UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak, asking him to protect the country's cash infrastructure, including its ATM network. Recommended measures include reviving free-to-use ATMs for local communities and maintaining incentive for operators to keep ATMs online by reversing cuts to the interchange fees banks pay to those operators.
In the letter, MPs also criticized the UK's main debit and ATM card issuer, the Link network, saying that Link's guarantee that communities facing cash shortages will have their ATMs replaced by one from a Link member bank falls short in filling the gap, per ATM Marketplace. In the course of just a few months, the coronavirus has had staggering effects on the usage of ATMs and cash more widely. During the lockdown period in the UK, ATM withdrawals have plunged 60%, per data from YouGov published in late April And the usage of cash on the whole has receded as well: Approximately three-quarters of UK consumers confirmed that they aren't using physical currency as much as they were before the crisis.
But the lasting effects on consumers' usage of physical money could pose even more of a threat to the UK cash infrastructure in the long run. Over three-quarters of respondents to the YouGov survey said the coronavirus pandemic is likely to impact their future use of cash, with 50% saying they plan to use payment cards with greater regularity and 31% saying they intend to use ATMs less frequently. UK consumers more and more to access money via ATMs.

The UK is reviewing Huawei's role in its 5G network after further US sanctions - Business InsiderBusiness Insider is a fast-growing business site with deep financial, media, tech, and other industry verticals. Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. SAI No its not about the pressure. Its about the capability of Huawei to provide the required hardware. TSMC has already indicated it will not make chips for Huawei. So now it will have to find out a new manufacturer within China. Which is quite impossible for atleast next 2 years SAI Boris Johnson is walking on a thin line with his mishandling the pandemic. Britons will not forgive him. I guess he will try to compensate by getting support from Trump by yielding to US pressure. Not a good choice I guess! SAI UK has 'downgraded' the China trade deal and therefore has to ditch Huawei as it desperately needs the US trade deal. You wouldn't want to trust them at all.
