The common saying “money makes the world go ‘round seems as true as ever, but increasingly less and less actual money seems to change hands. With the advent of all sorts of digital methods of exchange, gone are the days when we’d go around with a bunch of cash in our pockets.

From our everyday tasks, to how the rest of the world is doing business, financial institutions and money technologies are making waves we didn’t see coming just a few years ago. Where we put our money might never change, but how it gets there is, and at quite a pace. Consumers and businesses have to keep up or get left behind.
