Indeed, the environment of cash transport is a sector that is impacted by various pressures, such as the "political" one to decrease the volumes of cash in the Netherlands, as well as new regulations that increase the pressure on transport costs (automatic staining in case of theft and minimum amounts entrusted in cash transport depending on the sums transported), as well as fewer and fewer Bank Agencies on the Dutch territory to supply.
Changes in purchasing behavior will also impact the means of payment in cash: the rise of digital payments will accelerate the decrease in cash volumes, which has been accentuated with the COVID Virus since 2020 by favoring these means to pay for all kinds of purchases.
