This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you want to see changes to arrangements for financial transactions, but requiring people to have bank accounts would not necessarily mean that all transactions were through a bank account.

If you want the Government to ban all transactions in case, so that people can only make transactions through bank accounts, we could accept a petition requesting this.
