New research by Roy Morgan shows that awareness of digital payments among Australians aged 14+ has reached 93.9%, and 72.4% have used at least one digital payment method over an average 12 months. The survey also shows that 7.2% of Australians have used ‘buy now, pay later’ systems such as Afterpay in the last 12 months, while 6.8% have used fintechs such as Android Pay and Google Wallet. Banks’ own mobile payments systems were used by 5.8% of Australians over this period. Meanwhile, 59.1% used bill payment services and 33.9% used online payment platforms such as PayPal. Roy Morgan’s ‘Digital Payment Solutions Currency Report’ November 2018 represents some of the findings from the Single Source survey, which is based on in-depth interviews conducted face-to-face with over 50,000 consumers in their home.
