Many central banks and regulators still treat cash as a payment backup and a tool for financial inclusion. Retailers and large chains therefore cannot rely only on electronic payments; back offices still need to prepare notes and coins quickly.
Hypermarkets are moving banding and light strapping to the back room to keep checkouts clear. Stable, quiet, compact machines fit existing warehouse paths more easily.
For suppliers, retail buyers do not always need the fastest industrial model. They want reliable, easy-to-maintain machines that do not damage notes.
