Cash payment (CR) refers to a transaction where payment is made using physical currency, such as banknotes or coins. It involves the direct exchange of money from the buyer to the seller as a form of immediate payment for goods or services. CR are typically made in person, face-to-face, and involve handing over the agreed-upon amount of cash to the recipient.

CR have been a traditional and widely accepted method of conducting transactions. They offer simplicity, immediacy, and a sense of tangibility. However, with the increasing prevalence of digital payment options, such as credit cards, debit cards, and electronic transfers, CR have become less common in certain settings.

It’s worth noting that CR may have specific legal and reporting requirements, depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the transaction. Additionally, cash payments do not provide the same level of transactional record-keeping as digital payment methods, making them less traceable in terms of financial tracking.
