MasterCard Inc. Analyst Notes
On May 6, 2014, MasterCard Inc. (MasterCard) announced that its European wide study that surveyed over 9,000 consumers from 12 countries showed that despite being known to the fact that handling cash, bank notes or coins is unhygienic and dirty, only one in five wash their hands after holding it. According to an Initial research carried out by MasterCard and Oxford University in 2013, the average European bank note contained 26,000 bacteria which could be potentially harmful to our health. Whilst respondents in the recent 2014 survey recognised the potential health hazards associated with handling cash, there was a significant "say-do" gap across Europe of people believing cash is dirty and actually doing something about it.
