Declared as a pandemic by the World health organization (WHO) the rapidly spreading epidemic of coronavirus is prompting second thoughts about reaching for cash.
According to CNBC “Analysts are saying that the “psychological factor” of people thinking of cash as “unclean” could prompt more adoption of things like Apple Pay and Venmo.”
Likewise, here in Nepal, not that people here are ready to fully accept the digital payment trend but in a coronavirus era nobody wants to touch cash anymore especially those consumers who are very conscious of what they touch.
So in an era where the government has voiced the public not to assemble in large gatherings, to avoid handshakes, to wash our hands as often as possible, and paying by your phone which is safer as only one person is involved in the process and has to touch the device, not two.
