The penny's upcoming retirement is a signal of broader payment evolution. The U.S. joins Australia, New Zealand and Canada in phasing out low-denomination coins. These countries have already adapted successfully by implementing rounding rules, while supporting the growth of electronic payments. The pattern is clear: as digital transactions become dominant, the role of physical coins is declining. For businesses, this moment offers an opportunity to optimize payment methods and modernize their digital payment infrastructure. As this transition unfolds, businesses that offer both cash and digital payment systems will be best positioned. At Western Alliance Bank, we can help businesses modernize their payment processes and ensure they are ready for the shift. https://lnkd.in/gRRteuFp
