New Research Finds Consumers Demand Payment Choice, Worry About Cash Access, and Remain Optimistic About Their Financial Future Seite 1

Over half of consumers worldwide (56%) have changed their spending habits from a year ago, not only becoming more price conscious but demanding payment choice, from debit cards and bank transfers
to digital wallets and cash, according to new research from Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE), a global payment processor and digital wallet provider.

According to Paysafe’s report, ‘Inside the Wallet: How consumers are spending and saving in 2024’, 43% of consumers have abandoned their online shopping cart if a business didn’t offer their
payment method of choice. With retailers increasingly adopting cashless policies, an overwhelming number of consumers (63%) expressed concern about losing cash as a payment option, with another 44%
of people indicating that they want to be able to buy goods or services online and pay for them in cash at a local store.
