The Rise of Digital Payment Systems

The Rise of Digital Payment Systems


Digital Payments in Use

Hey everyone! Welcome back to my third blog! I am really enjoying writing these every week as I enjoy the interaction with everyone on this platform and I find myself learning some valueable information during the process. This week, we're diving into a topic that's transforming the way we handle money.

Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, an entrepreneur, or just someone who enjoys the convenience of paying with your phone, you’ve most definitely noticed how quick digital payments are changing our everyday transactions. Join me today as we explore what has influenced this shift, the impact on our consumer behaviors, and what the future may hold for this new rising trend.💪

Here's a link to help yourselves get an idea of how these systems work! Payment Systems 101


I believe the banks must pay a big part to play in this rise. They've encouraged us to go paperless (cashless) in the past few years and by doing this they have offered us incentives to use our digital card on our smartphone wallet. 


One of the, 'new kids', on the block is, Revolut. They offer us cashback on certain transactions and discounts on brands online to encourage digital payments. I believe the financial institutions are encouraging this so they can get a more comprehensive insight as to how we act as a consumer. Here's a link to Revolut feel free to contact me to use my referal code so we can both receive free money👌.

Interestingly, the NHS have successfully adopted a paperless approach to the way they operate day-to-day, using E-Mails instead of letters , online patient records, and linking electronic health records across NHS Systems. These systems all allow for information to be confidential and easily accessible. Here are some ways they've improved their ways of payment.

1. Online Payment Portals

  • Patients can now pay for services, medicine, and other treatments through secure online portals. This streamlines the payment process and reduces waiting times.

2. Mobile Payments

  • Increasing use of mobile apps allows patients to make payments with just a few clicks on a their device. These apps often provide additional features like appointment booking and reminders.

3. Integration with NHS Systems

  • Digital payment systems are now being integrated with electronic health records (EHRs) to provide seamless service.
I hope you all liked this blog as I really enjoyed writing it! 

I look forward to interacting with you all in the comment section :)

 My First Blog Post Jack Deegan Introduction Hello, everyone! My name is Jack Deegan, I am a final year Accounting student currently living and studying in Waterford, Ireland. I have recently just came home from a Summer of travelling in Canada, where I was immersed in a new culture on the opposite side of the world. It was amazing to see what Canada had to offer such as; their wildlife, landscape and everyone's enthusiasm for the outdoors. I believe that this trip allowed me to grow up very quickly as I didn't have my parents to rely on for everyday essentials and had to fend for myself which empowered me. This gave me a great sense of independence. Here's a link to 13 reasons why you should visit Canada!  13 Reasons to Visit Canada   Life upon arriving home Since arriving home to Ireland I have spent my time with friends and family, reconnecting with these people that I haven't seen in quite some time has been a refreshing experience.

  In today’s fast-paced business environment, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly turning to Software as a Service (SaaS) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.
