Each week, Leda Glyptis, CEO of 11:FS Foundry, creates #LedaWrites. This week, her thoughts turn to what transformation should look like with the lessons being learned from COVID-19.
Last year, we debated digital payments and whether they’re the future. At the time, it seemed like the answer was a resounding “yes". In the meantime, a global pandemic has emerged and transformed consumer behaviour in all areas of life — including the ways in which we pay. But the question is, will this be a permanent change or will we revert to our pre-pandemic ways once it’s safe to do so? And if we do fast-forward to a completely cashless society, what will the implications be?
