Why Does Gen Z Prefer E-Wallets as a Payment Option?

[Suba]

If we look closely, almost all payment transactions are now no longer made in cash, so we no longer need to queue at ATMs just to withdraw cash. One of the largest groups using e-wallets is Gen Z, often referred to as a cashless society.

The pros and cons of e-wallets depend primarily on the user. Many people say they can save money by frequently receiving cashback and discounts, especially when using certain e-wallet payments for all types of transactions. On the other hand, e-wallets, equipped with all the conveniences, can lead to consumerism. I've also noticed that I no longer have a lot of change from cash payments. I always pay the amount stated on my e-wallet for all transactions, and I no longer tip frequently (refusing change under $0.30) when paying at food stalls, coffee shops, street vendors, etc.

Options to E Wallets is the use of cards for payment. That is too much stress for an average Gen Z person.

Because ewallets are secure because they use tools like encryption, tokenization, and biometric checks. These tools protect payment and personal data during storage and transactions.
