      „The new rules are part of the EU’s wider effort to crack down on money laundering and other financial crimes by making large transactions more transparent and easier for authorities to track.“

      Mhm yes, I love governments being able to track transactions. I just feel so warm and fuzzy inside knowing my financial information is being further exposed to state actors! 🤭

      So, now when I make illegal payments with illegal money it will be forbidden? Gosh!

      > That means the regulation is not banning cash payments altogether. Instead, it focuses on high-value commercial operations where authorities believe financial transparency is most important.

      So when I pay my builder/tradesman in cash and he doesn’t declare it will be even more illegal? Oh no…

      Bummer, we won’t be able to construct new buildings with cash coming in suitcases from the Netherlands every Friday anymore (true story, btw)! /s

      A whole lot of €9999 purchases coming out of the criminal world, while the rest of us wonder why banks suddenly start carrying strap-ons in addition to the other ways they’re already fucking us.

      In France, the limit has been set at €1,000 for quite some time now 🤷‍♂️

      And then they will find workarounds, like two months rent, after which it can be bought for 900.-

      But buying a second hand car for 11k cash? Nope. Illegal.

      > European institutions argue that large cash transactions remain one of the easiest ways to conceal illicit financial activity.

      >By introducing a common ceiling across all EU countries, Brussels hopes to close gaps between national systems and make it harder for suspicious transactions to move across borders unnoticed. Authorities also believe the changes will strengthen efforts to combat money laundering, tax evasion, organised crime, and terrorist financing.

      >In essence, the EU is not eliminating cash, but from summer 2027, using it for large commercial transactions without any formal traceability will no longer be possible anywhere in the bloc.

      Something tells me this not going to have a significantly negative impact on “illicit financial activity”.

      Happy to live in Switzerland where we have the freedom to pay in cash up to 100.000 CHF legally

      They just want all money to become digital. It’s more easy to control people.

      The EU really hates business! Yes, even drugs and corruption are taxable business incomes!

      This is not how money laundering works, or is stopped.

      It’s just dumb.

      This is very bothering due to how close some of Europe is to fascistic regimes and how easy it is for them to freeze accounts for unwanted minority groups. :/

      That’s sociopathic tyranny. Politicians and the system hate people with money. They want to control them. Control them, tax them.
