I have to say that many would be surprised to learn how many do not have a bank account. It might follow that many of these people in the uk may not have the facilities whether it be affording technology or internet accounts costs to have the benefits of online banking. When the DWP went to pay benefits electronically they found many thousands in the UK did not have a bank account and the electronic payments could not be assumed to apply to everyone.

@FreddieUK I am not sure there is much feeling about tracking, in the UK.
However I would understand if there is a growing mistrust in services based on the Internet, because there are so manyy attacks from criminals and hostile states.
Tax evaders are likely to be bright enough to know how to use the system so as to dodge it.

My window cleaner is pretty paranoid, I can tell you. He won't take anything other than cash because he's convinced that 'they' are out to get him and everyone else who lets them. He was a complete Covid denial and was convinced that wearing a mask was a way of silencing us and killing off people who couldn't breathe properly. Apart from that is a really nice guy 😂

@FreddieUK One of my nephews is just as barmy - if it's on t'Net it must be right and the less logical it is the more right it must be!
His Mum - my sister - told him off quite sternly for his Covid and mask refusal. "You do in this house!" when visiting from his own flat, she told me she had ordered him.
So barmy that one Christmas he gave me an unopened packet of shortbread biscuits another relative had give him, because the ingredients included a few "E-numbers". It did not take me long to discover none were at all anything to worry about. I think one was baking-soda, for example.
