Digital Payments in the Caribbean: What Does it Mean for Me?
More and more, consumers in the Caribbean are shifting to digital payments. Credit card usage for e-commerce and online banking transfers accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic and the trend is expected to continue. There's also the issue of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and private digital payment platforms to consider.
This edition of the Central Bank of Barbados' Caribbean Economic Forum, "Moving to Digital Payments: What Does That Mean for Me?" looks at what's available and how people can use digital payments to their advantage while managing the associated risks.
