As the global leader in branded payments, you can always count on Blackhawk Network for the latest intel to help you succeed in business. After a year filled with chaos and change, we thought it would help our customers (and future customers) if we took a deep dive into digital and contactless payments, and how they have been affected by the pandemic.
Working with market and research analytics firm Leger, we conducted a global study to reveal how things, and shoppers' attitudes, have changed—the report, Global Digital Payments Insights.
Here are just some of the key findings:
- Online-only retailers thrived. Consumers are turning toward online-only retailers at a more frequent pace.
- Digital payments expanded. Digital wallets, digital gift cards, QR codes and barcodes were used for the first time by some consumers during the pandemic.
- Digital wallet users say digital payments made their shopping easier and reported shopping more often.
- Gift cards helped people connect to eCommerce in 2020. In particular, digital gift cards made it easy for consumers to shop, gift and pay online.
