Digital Money for Seniors
It’s no secret that some people can struggle to get used to new technology. Age continues to be one of the main factors in digital exclusion, with many seniors feeling left behind by the technological tide. Due to the pace of change, it’s hardly surprising. Take contactless card payments, for example. Its adoption for lower value purchases is now widespread, including on the London Underground.
For a lot of people, the move away from a cash-centric society feels quite natural – almost inevitable. In fact, back in 2017 debit card payments exceeded cash payments for the first time in the UK. But the use of digital payments has largely been designed with the mass market in mind, not necessarily those who have grown up mainly using cash. Shiny mobile devices can feel quite alien if you’ve relied on cash for most of your life.
