The inferential statistics involve regression, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression analysis. A pilot study was also used to test the quality, clarity, time scale and bias of the questionnaire. The paper concluded that cash-less policy will impact positively on the fortunes of banks even though some of the charges are not wholly their revenue.
