The way consumers pay one another is changing as payments migrate from cash and checks to digital transactions.
Boston, April 11, 2018 – The last decade has seen tremendous growth in the availability of digital person-to-person payment methods, and tech giants are posing a huge threat to traditional payments providers by entering the payments space with fast, easy, and convenient digital payment methods for consumers. U.S. consumers are actively exploring the use of these new mobile payment services available through traditional financial institutions as well as those from alternative providers.
