In 2017, Paysafe published the first two volumes in its Lost in
Transaction series; reports which looked at payments trends in the UK,
US and Canada from both consumer and merchant perspectives. This
new volume, Lost in Transaction: Payment Trends 2018, updates some
of the findings from those reports – in particular the ongoing popularity
of cash, the merging of cash with new digital payment formats, and the
rise of contactless and digital wallets. It also adds two new countries to
the mix, Germany and Austria, where some important trends around
cash replacement systems and payment by invoice are emerging.
