"We may be becoming a cashless society, but our research shows people
are also less receptive to using contactless technology when casually
solicited by charities. What happens when your traditional business
model relies on bills and coins?
Cheques and bank cards have been around for decades, but financial
technology (fintech) innovations have increased exponentially in recent
years. From tap-and-go card readers at retail sites and e-banking apps
on smart phones, to peer-to-peer payment apps such as Venmo and PayPal
that allow one-touch cashless money transfers, it’s a digital consumer
world."
