Amazon figured out a way for online shoppers to pay in cash

Online shopping giant Amazon is betting that some of its customers would rather use cash.

Tech giant Amazon will let customers buy something online, then visit a Western Union in person to pay in cash.

The cash option is a benefit to those without a bank account who might not have access to a debit or credit card. It also unveiled "Amazon Cash" — way for users to load cash into their Amazon balance in person, so they can make online purchases later. That is now available in over 100,000 cash-loading locations nationwide.

While most Amazon shoppers will likely stick with the convenience of online payments, cash options helps those without a bank account or access to the traditional banking system.
