During last two decades, two particular streams dominated over the others, those are information technology and marketing. This paved way to moved computer technology in to the small and large businesses. Online transactions and virtual money are the key elements in marketing and mobile phone’s apps are popular among customers. Even though, there are many advantages and disadvantages in this topic, I will justify that, advantages are dominate over the disadvantages.
In 2023, research conducted by the Oxford University, concluded that, during last three years, cardless transaction became popular by fifty percent, compare with the previous three years. First, let me discuss the advantages in online payment methods. Most attractive feature of online payment apps is the security. Since, coins and notes are not involved in for transactions, online transactions have been more popular during past decades. Another key feature of online payment platform is its user friendliness. There is no limit of the amount you can carry, there for mobile apps were popular among the customers as well as business community. It was a common see that, people were waiting in long queues in front of ATM machines in nineteen nineties and this causes people to waste their time without any reason. But with the introduction of online payment schemes, save precious time of busy customers as well as the marketing people.
In contrast, there are few drawbacks in online payment methods as well. High chance for being fraud, is the most critical feature. With the advancement of computer literacy, online financial scams were increased and it had been a threat to the online payment platforms. Nowadays, agencies involve in cyber security are try their best to promote virtual payment apps while ensuring the security.
By considering both above facts, I strongly believe that, online payment methods are more convenient over physical transactions and this will become the standard among financial institutions. Ultimately, this will promote fast and secure financial transactions in future.
