The coronavirus pandemic has hiked up the number of Americans using various touch-free payment methods.
The increased adoption of contactless payments is due in part to the numerous concerns over the cleanliness of signing at point of sale or paying with cash. The survey found that half of U.S. consumers worry about the cleanliness of signature touchpads and 72% of U.S. consumers prefer to skip signatures altogether.
And that rate climbs to 43% for younger demographics . This is an interesting point since rewards and benefits are often the deciding factor on what credit card to use. And if you've never used contactless payments before, rest assured that the process is relatively easy, according to nearly nine in ten Americans that adopted contactless.
