Monument Strategies has been instrumental in putting together the Consumer Choice in Payment Coalition, www.cash-choice.org, which consists of manufacturing firms, service providers, trade associations, and other businesses, along with consumer-advocacy groups, charitable organizations, and other nonprofits. The coalition advocates for legislation, including the proposed federal Payment Choice Act , which would guarantee consumers the right to pay with cash for in-person retail purchases of goods and services.  

In addition, we also were active in building a coalition of retail-industry leaders, cash-transit providers, and manufacturers, suppliers, and servicers of automated teller machines (ATMs), to advocate for enactment of the proposed federal Safe Access to Cash Act, which would provide to owners, operators, servicers, and customers of independently owned ATM terminals the same level of protection under the federal Bank Robbery Act that currently is provided with respect to ATMs of federally insured financial institutions.
