Anxious?<\/b><\/p>\n

Consumers around the world have security concerns surrounding mobile payments. Although protection of personal information and transaction security are top priority for all digital wallet developers, even US consumers are <\/span>slow<\/span><\/a> to embrace the idea of mobile payments. <\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019re Not Alone<\/b><\/p>\n

Apart from the usual anxiety of trying something new, (like your first online US Visa application), many Barbadians find it challenging to understand the concept of payments made from mobile phones and are concerned about the app\u2019s security. The most typical follow-up questions have been:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u201cIs it secure?\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. \u201cWho has access to my money?\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. \u201cWill it eat my phone credit?\u201d <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. \u201cWill it use up my data?\u201d <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For the record, the answers for these questions are:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Yes<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Your <\/span>money<\/span> is only accessible on your device with your personal login. <\/span><\/li>\n
    3. No.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. No, especially if you\u2019re on WiFi. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      We Got This!<\/b><\/p>\n

      Minister Ryan Straughn, Minister in the Barbados Ministry of Finance and panelist at the BimTech Digital Forum 2018, outlined that \u201cdespite Barbadians’ cultural fear of change, my administration\u2019s goal is to make central government fully digital by 2020\u201d. Minister Straughn further noted that a \u201cgovernment\/private sector public education campaign is imperative in order to expedite national adoption of digital technology\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n
