Central Bank Recommendations for Cash Preparedness in Emergencies
May 22, 2025
The Dutch Central Bank advises citizens to keep cash on hand for at least three days due to the increasing risk of cyberattacks. The suggested minimum amount is €70 per adult and €30 per child to cover basic needs in emergencies. Authorities stress the seriousness of this warning, especially following recent incidents of technical failures. Similar recommendations have been made in other Scandinavian countries.
