New York City Council is due to enact legislation to ensure such changes this Thursday, January 23, 2020.

About the bill

The bill of City Councilor Richie Torres (D-Bronx) will require all businesses selling any goods and services to accept cash from customers. Otherwise, businessmen risk paying a fine of up to $ 1500.

«Безналичный запрет», который, как ожидается, вступит в силу примерно через девять месяцев, также запрещает магазинам взимать с покупателей более высокие цены за оплату наличными. «В Нью-Йорке больше не будет предприятий, владеющих правом отказываться от наличных денег и таким образом дискриминировать клиентов, не имеющих доступа к кредитам и дебетовым платежам, — сказал Торрес. — Город Нью-Йорк не может позволить цифровой экономике оставить безучастными 25% ньюйоркцев, которые не используют банковские услуги или используют их в неполной мере».

In what cases are shops allowed to refuse cash payments

At the same time, the source notes, stores will still be able to refuse banknotes with a face value above $ 20, as well as accept cash payments for transactions made on the Internet, by phone or by mail.

Grocery and retail stores are allowed to refuse cash if their premises have devices that can convert accounts into prepaid cards. But this rule is valid provided that they do not charge a commission, do not require a minimum deposit of more than $ 1, or have a limit on allowed transactions. Money on these cards should also never run out, and in the event of a device malfunction, the store must accept cash.
