- Securing and Protecting Your Finances In The Cashless Society - Joe DalyLet's talk about a "tough" money subject – security and fraud prevention.It's on everyone's mind, even though our cashless society is pretty convenient for us all. The payments innovation landscape is rapidly broadening to encompass innovation ranging from mobile payments to biometrics (as exhibited by Apple’s recent announcement) and even voice-activated payments – but the question remains, can you trust these new technologies for payments?On This Podcast Episode:I'm going straight to the expert, Joe Daly (COO, Paysafe Payments Processing, North America), to find out how you can stay save in this cashless society. On this episode we're talking about topics that we're all trying to figure out including:Cashless Future – Millennials are the driving force behind a cashless society, but you expect high-performance and security from your alternative payment options before you completely abandon traditional payment methods. How can you balance that?Convenience Above All – In 2018, millennials will drive digital wallet adoption due to this generation’s preference for convenient payment methods. How do you stay safe?Alternative Payment Technologies – Although Paysafe research found 31% of 18 – 34 year-olds already use cryptocurrencies from time to time, Millennials will not be a driving force behind standardizing cryptocurrency as a mainstream payment.
