The Rise of Digital Payment Systems

Hello and Welcome back to my Blog.😁

 

Today we are going to explore the area of digital payment systems and more specifically the rise of them.

Digital payments systems are systems which allow for payments to be done through digital, online or other electronic sources. This includes bank transfers, apple pay, internet banking, contactless payments and much more.💸


Digital payment systems are becoming increasingly popular and are constantly being used. In 2023 there was just over 1.3 trillion digital payments recorded globally and this is expected to double by 2027.😮

The rise of digital payments systems can be attributed to their convenience, speed and security.

·       Transactions can happen at any time in any place making it a more convenient method of payment. It also eliminates having to search for cash or a physical card.

·       Payments can happen very quickly. A person can transfer funds almost immediately which helps to improve cash flow and financial situations.  

·       Customers look for their data to be protected. The use of two factor authentication has allowed for digital payments to become a secure method of payment.


Many organisations utilise digital payments. Media and entertainment companies 🎬such as Netflix and Disney+ have subscriptions which are recurring payments. The clothing industry also uses digital payments. Companies such as Boohoo, Pretty Little Thing and Zara👗👖 all have online shops which require payment through digital means.


The Covid-19 Pandemic😷 had a big role to play in the rise of digital payment systems. As people couldn’t leave their house, companies had to adapt in order to remain competitive and keep money coming in. This resulted in a turn to online shopping which led to more digital payment systems.

As Digital Payment Systems are constantly on the rise, I wonder will the world ever become a completely cashless society. What do you think?💁

 

Thanks for reading!😆

Introduction to Me

Hello Everyone!😊   Welcome to my first ever Blog🎉 My name is Sinead and I am a 22 year old college student from the south east of Ireland. I attend the South East Technological University in Waterford (SETU) where I am studying the Bachelor of Business Studies with a specialism in Human Resource Management. I am currently in my fourth and final year of my studies and I hope to be able to graduate in 2025 all things going well.   I am a sporty person🏃.My hobbies mainly include sports. I love to play camogie and ladies gaelic football and some might even say that my life revolves around these two sports. When I’m not playing sport, I can be found in the gym, running around my local gaa pitch, training our under 18 camogie team or watching a GAA match. As you can probably tell I am GAA mad!😂  I also have another hobby which is not quite as hectic as the GAA world. I play traditional Irish music🎶 and more specifically the tin whistle and fiddle 🎻. Well that's enough abo...

Cybersecurity for Small Businesses

Hello everyone!👋 Welcome back to my eight & final blog.😆   Today, we are going to explore the area of cybersecurity👮 for small businesses.   Cybersecurity is the process of reducing the risk of a cyber-attack.

Here are some cybersecurity tips for a small business:💡 1.       Train employees in the area of cybersecurity. ...
