Seizing the Digital Marketing Opportunities in the Era of Electronic Payments

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, citizens are more concerned about personal and public health, and even maintain social distancing, which has caused a huge change in consumer attitudes towards cash payment. For hygiene reasons, consumers tend to opt for electronic payments and reduce the use of cash to lower the risk of virus transmission. 


To reduce the chances of being infected or spreadingCOVID-19, consumers are utilizing digital technologies to learn, work and shop from home. COVID-19 has accelerated the evolution of payment methods, that contactless payment is gradually replacing traditional coins and banknotes. 


In fact, the adoption of cashless payment has become a spontaneous preventive measure against infectious diseases in our community. 


On top of that, with mobile and digital encryption technology, contactless payments are secured electronically and physically.
