The Government\u2019s view is that cashback without a purchase has the potential to be a valuable facility to cash users, and play an important role in the UK\u2019s cash infrastructure. That is why the Government made legislative changes to support the widespread offering of cashback without a purchase by shops and other businesses as part of the Financial Services Act 2021. The financial services industry is already seeking to take advantage of these changes to the benefit of cash users; working with retailers to get this service rolled out to local communities.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government does not intend to mandate the provision of cashback without a purchase, which could impose associated costs on business.<\/p>"}

Decisions about what products are offered to individual businesses remain commercial decisions for banks and building societies.

However, the Government has always been clear - throughout the pandemic - that lenders should remain open to new customers where it is operationally feasible for them to do so.<\/p>

FCDO recognises the vital role of social protection in boosting household food security and helping people to meet basic needs. We work with national governments to help them strengthen and scale up their social protection systems, including building systems that can flex to respond to shocks, to mitigate their impact on food security. For example, in Kenya the FCDO has routinely delivered cash transfers to nearly 600,000 people since 2013, and the programme is designed to scale up to an additional 1.62 million people during periods of drought. Since 2012, the Government of Kenya has co-financed these cash transfers.<\/p>
The FCDO programme 'Better Assistance in Crises' is providing technical assistance and generating evidence on how social protection can help poor and vulnerable people better meet their basic needs in crises, including contexts of food insecurity. At the G7 meeting in May 2021, through the famine prevention and humanitarian crises compact, we committed to work with the World Bank to support existing and shock-responsive social protection systems in the most vulnerable and conflict-affected countries.<\/p>"}
