The Netherlands' Central Bank (DNB) has recommended that citizens keep cash on hand for emergencies, advising €70 for adults and €30 for children for 72 hours. This guidance stems from concerns over geopolitical tensions and cyber threats that may disrupt the country’s payment systems. With the recent power outage in Spain and Portugal highlighting vulnerabilities in card payment systems, DNB emphasizes the importance of cash for essential purchases. Citizens are also encouraged to have debit cards and contactless payment methods available in addition to cash.
The DNB warned citizens to keep cash for 72 hours of necessary expenses due to rising geopolitical tensions and potential cyber threats to the payment system.
In case of emergencies or failures in digital payment systems, cash will be the most reliable method to ensure access to essential goods and services.
