Industry Information
The future of financial transactions is digital.
The way we pay for our goods and services has swiftly advanced from traditional, face-to- face methods at fixed locations - towards remote and location-free technologies. Innovations such as Internet banking, Point-Of-Sale (POS) terminals, e-Commerce, ATMs and mobile phone banking apps have radically changed the way we manage and spend our money, and the trend is set to continue at an ever increasing rate.
