Benefits of contactless payment
In May, director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO) Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus reminded us that we remain in a fragile position. Regardless of the vaccination rate, we are not yet out of the woods. “This virus is changing constantly. Future changes could render our tools ineffective and drag us back to square one,” his words ring true. Despite all of us taking extra care, COVID-19 took a turn for the worse having evolved into a stronger variant.
Every bit of effort to contain the spread of the disease helps. Now more than ever, cooperation and the strict observance of health protocols must be observed. This includes even the simplest of gestures including contactless transactions.
Digital payment is a means to minimize transmission. Having minimal contact with other people is the key to prevent the transfer of the virus. The use of tap-to-pay technology is vital. Paying online not only provides smoother and faster checkouts, but it is also more reliable having added protection against fraudulent purchases. Apart from these, some e-wallet applications present discounts, cashbacks, and reward opportunities to users. This not only solves contactless transactions but also somehow eases the economic crisis.
Leading super app in Southeast Asia, Grab has partnered with SM to make shopping more secure for mall-goers. Not only does it eliminate the physicality of payments, it also allows shoppers exclusive deals and savings. These benefits can be availed until the end of the month.
