Cash, Card or Mobile Phone ?
“Right now, retailers
need to get to grips with the down of contactless payment. In the past week
there has been a raft of announcements and news on alternative payment methods.
Technologies everywhere are still convinced that they can come up with something
better than cash for smaller transactions. The alternative method that
retailers must consider in the immediate future is contactless payment. A few
stories in London have gone live with the Barclaycard Business. Contactless
payment system already more than 1.000 other sites have signed up to use it and
3.000 consumers have registered their interest in the system’s One Pulse
contactless card.”
Based on the statement
above, in my opinion in Indonesia could apply the contactless payment system
for the current society in Indonesia has many uses credit card and mobile phone
as a means of payment. Besides, ATM machine are widely available in a variety
of places so it is easy to find.
As a contactless
payment users, there are some benefits such as saving time, for security while
traveling people who travel can be more vulnerable to fraud simply by virtue of
the unfamiliarity of the local language or surroundings. Lost or stolen cash is
gone forever, but a credit card can be shut down and replaced during one phone
call. Easier because we don't need bring the cash money. If we use the credit card
to payment, sometimes we can phone banking. So we can shopping and pay it using
mobile in our house without we go out from our house.
Between cash, card and mobile phone, I prefer
using mobile phone. Because mobile phone more practice than credit card and
cash. With mobile phone we can pay our bill use the mobile phone banking. It can
saving time, energy and money. Besides that, we can transaction everywhere and
everytime.
