Global Money Week: payment services

23/03/2022

We continue with the third day of Global Money Week, and today we want to tell you about payments.

We are increasingly using means of payment other than cash when paying in shops or online. We are referring to new digital payment methods beyond traditional bank cards, such as mobile payments, bizum, apps, etc. Like most innovations, as well as making our lives easier (in this case, our method of payment), they can also entail a series of risks that we should be aware of in order to use them securely.

To avoid fraud, just as we do with our credit or debit cards, we must take a series of precautions when using each means of payment, for example: save our codes and passwords securely; check the reputation of online sellers; or keep our devices’ software up-to-date. In this post we give you a series of tips on electronic payments.
