At Pinnacle we have written consistently on the move towards a cashless society. Governments around the world have been pushing this agenda increasingly hard.
Cashless Society Trend Intensifies in 2017
We published Cashless Society Coming to Canada on February 23rd, 2016 and Canada’s March to Cashless Society Quickens on March 24th, 2016.
Below is an excerpt from Canada’s March to Cashless Society Quickens,
“…the rate as which we are moving to a cashless society, facilitated by government bodies and central banks, is alarming.
Economists in the U.S. and bankers in the EU went public in the idea of abolishing $100 bills and €500 notes in February of 2016. This would hasten the rise of digital payments and plastic transactions in those countries. It appears Canada doesn’t need the boost:
“Nowhere do people pay with plastic more than in Canada. An RBS report from 2011 found that paying by plastic — credit, debit and bank cards — amounts to 40 per cent of transactions, on average, across world economies. But the rate in Canada was 68 per cent, making the country the world leader in plastic payment.”

Canada Not Only Country Going Cashless
India made the headlines late last year when its government outlawed certain paper money. In The race to make India a cashless economy, they review demonetization,
“Demonetization, arguably the most significant trigger of this race, was an involuntary exercise that the country underwent, where, overnight, the two largest currency denominations – The INR 500 and the INR 1,000 notes – were declared by the government as no longer being legal transacting tender.”
Mogo has built a mobile-first platform where users can sign up for a free MogoAccount in only three minutes and get access to free credit score monitoring, a free spending account, mortgages and personal loans. Consumers are demanding convenience and that often leads to hand-held mobile devices. Nothing is faster than what’s already in your hand.
Also, the company has more than 400,000 members and appears to be leading the shift to digital banking in Canada. Judging by its stock chart below, the market is anticipating future growth from this junior Fintech company.
