Is there a corresponding increase in stolen identity/bank fraud? I'd be curious if criminals changed methods or just hung up the black and white striped sweater and turned to the famously honest occupation of drop shipping.
You say "people use cash less often" but that still leaves the mechanism unexplored. Do you think banks have less cash on hand (or less cash that is immediately accessible to tellers)? Or that would-be bank robbers simply don't think of robbing banks since they aren't spending time in banks? Or something else?
Also, have payday lender robberies simply replaced bank robberies?
Banks are where the money isn't.
