The payments industry is quite complex, depending heavily on the health of the economy. The more consumers purchase, the more transactions are processed. The industry is growing at a rapid rate and this is partly due to the ease of accessibility of obtaining debit cards that can be used to purchase goods and services online and through digital payment platforms.
