Research from Blackhawk Network shows that with the growth of digital wallets, 59% of surveyed consumers have been using their digital wallet more frequently than before the pandemic began1. Of the digital payment tools available, 48% of consumers are using QR codes and barcodes on a mobile device more frequently over the last year, which is helping to bring a more seamless and connected payment experience to in-person shopping1. This leads to significant growth potential for businesses to adopt new point of sale technologies that can accept digital and mobile payments.
“The strong consumer adoption of digital payment systems has truly highlighted the need for retailers of all sizes to ensure that they are providing consumers with an easy and seamless payment experience,” said Tristan Roffey, VP & Group Head at Blackhawk Network. “Our partnership with Great Lakes Data Systems will allow a variety of businesses and retailers the same competitive access to digital payments as their competitors.”
