The Grand Demonetisation Drama: How Cash Continues to Defy Digital Dominance in India

In a dramatic and unforeseen move in November 2016, India annihilated two of its highest-denomination banknotes, effectively obliterating 86% of the nation’s currency in circulation overnight. This bold maneuver, dubbed Demonetisation, aimed to dismantle rampant corruption and siphon out hidden wealth. The immediate aftermath was a pandemonium of serpentine queues outside banks and ATMs, with critics decrying the policy for disproportionately afflicting the impoverished and crippling India's vast informal economy.

Cash Comeback: A Decade-High Surge as Britons Battle Soaring Prices!

As wallets tighten, cash is crowned the people's choice for budgeting. UK Finance reveals a fascinating shift: while nearly 22 million people sparingly touched cash, less than a million swore by it.

Mission

Cashtic connects people through a peer-powered cash exchange network—enabling access, flexibility, and grassroots financial participation. Users remain in control of who they meet and how they interact.

⚖️ Legal Disclaimer

⚠️ Cashtic is a peer-based platform. We do not screen users or supervise transactions. Always meet safely and only with people you trust. You are solely responsible for your interactions.

How we hope it will work for you

Here is how we're hoping Cashtic will work for you, but results may vary:

💸 Need Cash? Ditch the ATM hassle

Cashtic helps you connect with nearby people (if any) who are willing to hand you cash in exchange for a digital payment. It’s peer-to-peer, location-based, and totally in your hands.

🛠️ Here’s the idea:

📍 Make a request
Enter the amount, time, and a safe meetup location—like a well-lit café or a police station.

👀 Wait for a match
If someone nearby can help, they'll send you an offer. No one around yet? Don’t bail—we’ll keep your request and ping you if someone pops up.

🤝 Pick your person
Got options? Choose the user you vibe with. Cashtic doesn’t perform background checks—so it’s up to you to verify identity and meet responsibly..

📦 Meet up & trade
Chat through the app, meet in a safe spot, and swap cash like civilized humans.

💳 Pay it back
Send the money (plus any agreed tip) through your favorite transfer app—bank, Revolut, PayPal. Cashtic doesn’t touch your money—we just make the intro.


😎 Heads up:

Cashtic isn’t a bank, we’re not a delivery service, and we don’t spy on users. Use your head, stay alert, and meet smart.

⭐Key benefits:
  • Peer-powered convenience
    Find nearby users offering cash exchanges—without relying on traditional ATMs or banking hours.

  • You stay in control
    Choose who to meet, when, and where. Always meet in public places and verify identity using your own judgment and tools.

  • Optional commissions
    Users may agree to add a small fee for their service. All terms are arranged directly between users.

  • Expanding local network
    As more users join, your chances of finding a match nearby improve.

Still in its early stages, Cashtic relies on your support! If you find no users nearby right away, be patient and don't uninstall the app - the community is growing rapidly. Invite your friends to expand the network and make accessing cash even more convenient for everyone.

Additional points to remember:

  • Safety first: Always meet in well-lit, public areas and verify the user's background and ID before exchanging cash.
  • App limitations: Cashtic doesn't handle money transfers directly at the moment. Use your preferred money transfer app for secure payments.
