digital payment

Electronic money transfer

Digital payment is any transfer of money that happens electronically rather than through physical cash or checks.

The term covers credit card transactions, bank transfers, mobile payment apps, and cryptocurrency exchanges.

I switched to digital payments so I wouldn't have to carry cash.

Also called electronic payment or e-payment.
