For the first time in years, Denmark hasn’t recorded a single bank robbery.
多年來，丹麥第一次一件銀行搶案都沒發生。
Cash transactions in the Nordic country have become virtually obsolete, with Danes increasingly opting to use cards and smart phones for payments. The Danish bank employees’ union welcomed the news that 2022 had been robbery-free.
現金交易在這個北歐國家差不多已被淘汰，愈來愈多丹麥人選擇用卡片或智慧型手機付款。丹麥銀行業工會樂見2022年完全零搶案。
Finance Denmark, the banking sector’s association, said only about 20 bank branches across the country have cash holdings.
丹麥金融業協會Finance Denmark表示，全國僅有約20間銀行分行有庫存現金。
Initially, robbers switched their attentions from bank branches to Automatic Teller Machines, with such attacks peaking at 18 in 2016. But those too have come down to zero amid better surveillance and technical protection.
起初，搶匪將注意力從銀行分行轉移到自動提款機，這類案件的數量在2016年達高峰，共發生18件。但隨著監控品質及科技保護措施強化，這類案件也逐漸歸零。
