Cashless Progress<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Consumers\u2019 preferred payment methods differ widely across the world, but preferences don\u2019t always line up with actual usage.<\/strong> This is according to the World Economic Forum, which compared payment preferences in different countries. In Japan, Spain and France, for example, the preference for cashless payments was higher than their actual usage, pointing to the possibility that consumers there are simply unable to pay with digital methods for certain goods and services.

In a new booklet it recently published, the Reserve Bank of India described that country\u2019s shift to digital payments as a \u201cwork in progress.\u201d<\/strong> Since fiscal year 2010-2011, digital payment volume has grown at a compounded annual growth rate of 12.54%, with total payment value growing at 43%, the bank said. Despite this growth, there are geographical areas and demographic groups that require more targeted effort. From Business Standard<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
