Within the next five and a half months, it predicts that 50% of all Canadian transactions will be contactless.”
 

Another research expected that over half of consumers would abandon cash payment in 2020. People love to use simple and smart payment ways. “In Canada, contactless has paved the way for this new era of payments, with three out of five consumers regularly using it for purchases, 62% citing it as more convenient than cash, and 44% stating they preferred to shop in places that take contactless.”
