About Ron Delnevo

Ron Delnevo's focus in 2024 will be to continue his work as Chair of the Payment Choice Alliance (PCA), which he founded in 2014 and which is now supported by the not-for-profit UK Cash Supply Alliance (UKCSA), which he also Chair. The PCA's primary objective is to see a UK Payment Choice Act passed in to law by the end of 2025. The UK General Election on 4 July 2024 brought a new government into office which the PCA believes will be receptive to passing a UK Payment Choice Act before the end of 2025. Such legislation will ensure the UK public have the legal right to decide how they pay and, in particular, can always choose to use fiat currency - cash - for purchases. In September 2020, he was proud to be a founding member of the Steering Group of the newly-created UKCSA. he subsequently became a Board director of the UKCSA, a position which Ron Delnevo continues to hold. In 2018, Ron was pleased to be invited to join the Board of CaLP, the Cash Learning Partnership. Having worked on the Board for 12 months, he was delighted to be be elected to the position of Chair of the Board in November 2019, a role which he held for two years. At CaLP he was involved in implementing the new network convening strategy, strengthening the Board of Directors, and making a positive contribution towards ensuring aid recipients receive the quality of cash-based support they deserve, in a manner that best fits their personal needs. Advocacy remains high on his agenda in 2024 and beyond. Ron Delnevo's spersonal advocacy engagement will include: * promoting Payment Choice; * ensuring access to and acceptance of cash is maintained and improved; * ensuring those supplying cash to the British public are adequately rewarded to maintain and improve their services, including cash withdrawals and deposits. * ensuring there is innovation in terms of cash withdrawal and deposit facilities. * supporting a sustainable long-term future for LINK, the UK ATM Network and other similar networks. * engaging with the regulators and government departments on issues impacting cash. As always, his work will target having a positive impact on all aspects of cash use and cash distribution channels. Cash, apart from being a method of payment, a means of exchange and a store of value, has a crucial role to play in maintaining fragile Democracies ( these days, that’s virtually all of them) and the safeguarding of Financial Inclusion, Personal Freedom, Independence, Privacy and Choice. The small things that make life worth living.
