For decades, how we paid and got paid changed very little. Fast forward to today and we have an array of payment options, from traditional cash to modern contactless card payments. The digital age has revolutionized the way we pay, the way we do business, and the way we interact with each other.
Payment systems have changed and evolved substantially in a relatively short period of time. Once only available on a desktop computer with slow dial-up internet, banking today can be conducted from any smart device with instant response. Not only are we able to use any device, laptop, cell phone, or tablet, but we can handle our financial obligations or receive funds wherever we are, from just about anywhere in the world. Today, we have more options than ever to pay or get paid in ways that are faster, safer, greener.
Electronic banking and electronic payments have never been more popular and easier.
Tens of thousands of Bahamians are electronically connected to payment solutions. Businesses and consumers alike have embraced digital pay and are sending and receiving money seamlessly every day across The Bahamas.
Yet, others are still hesitant. They may be the unbanked or underbanked or those who are afraid to ‘take the leap’, preferring instead to pay and be paid with cash.
The world is changing and just as we adapted to cell phones and devices that depend on signals we cannot see or touch, so too are the ways we pay and get paid. We can do it all now without touching cash, keeping us safer, and our world greener.
Together, we partner in this informative two-year campaign across The Bahamas to explain the benefits, options, and opportunities available with digital payments. We will bring the digital payment age to you and give you the blueprint to navigate this rapidly evolving frontier.
