What is Digital Payments?

Digital payments refers to a wide range of technologies that make electronic banking possible, including everything from gift cards, debit cards, credit cards, ATMs, and the phone apps you use to electronically transfer money to your friends or pay bills. Digital payment allows you to invest, insure, and bank from your mobile device without ever setting foot in a building.
