What happens to cash when you make an online purchase?

1.05K views

When you buy something online or with a credit card, what happens to the physical money that the transaction represents? Are there just trucks of money being carted around to different banks? Does the number I see on my bank about even represent real, physical cash?

There isn’t physical money for the vast majority of money that exists in the works. It’s all just electronic transactions.
