La technologie a entraîné la création d’une gamme variée d’options de paiement, mais elle a augmenté du même coup les possibilités de fraude. Une récente estimation a évalué que la fraude associée à l’argent comptant est en baisse de 1,7 %, alors que celle associée aux cartes a augmenté de 16,2 % annuellement.

Cash may be one of the oldest payment methods available, but it remains the payment method of choice for millions across North America. While there has been an acceleration in consumer adoption of contactless payment methods, evolving technologies are changing the cash management ecosystem and ensuring that physical currency remains relevant in an increasingly high-tech, low-touch market.

L’argent comptant est peut-être l’un des plus anciens modes de paiement, mais il demeure toujours populaire auprès de millions de Nord-Américains. Alors qu’on assiste à une accélération dans l’adoption de méthodes de paiement sans contact, l’évolution des technologies change l’écosystème de la gestion du numéraire et assure que les paiements en espèces resteront pertinents.

Recent studies demonstrate that the coronavirus lives longer on hard, plastic surfaces than on soft, pliable surfaces. Cash is no more dangerous to handle than debit and credit cards or payment terminals in physical transactions. https://www.centralbanking.com/central-banks/currency/7509046/will-cash-survive-covid-19

De récentes études démontrent que le coronavirus vit plus longtemps sur des surfaces de plastique rigide que sur des surfaces pliables. L’argent comptant n’est pas plus dangereux à manipuler que les cartes de débit et de crédit ou que les terminaux de paiement lors des transactions physiques. https://www.centralbanking.com/central-banks/currency/7509046/will-cash-survive-covid-19

While Covid-19 has accelerated consumers' embrace of digital commerce, economists say that it is too soon to know if U.S. customers' shift to cashless methods of payment will last. Much of the shift to cashless payments was forced, with business closures and other restrictions pushing shopping online - which has also increased privacy concerns.

S’il est vrai que la COVID-19 a favorisé le commerce électronique, les économistes estiment qu’il est encore trop tôt pour savoir si la transition des consommateurs américains vers les méthodes de paiement sans espèces est réellement durable. Le délaissement de l’argent comptant a été forcé en bonne partie par la fermeture des magasins et les autres restrictions favorisant le magasinage en ligne, ce qui a également accentué les craintes concernant la vie privée.
