Some 37% of Swiss now use payment methods such as a smartphone or a smart watch – up from 25% just two years ago.

This is shown by the results of the third edition of the Visa Payment Monitor carried out in collaboration with the forsa research institute. According to the representative online survey of 1,000 people in Switzerland, almost three-quarters (72%) now prefer to use digital payment methods.

According to the survey, 27% of Swiss in German-speaking regions actively avoid shops where they can’t pay digitally. The figure is 34% in French-speaking Switzerland and as high as 37% in Ticino. Across Switzerland, the figure is 29%.

I want a smart hat so I can smash my head down onto tables or counters to pay.

I look hilariously stupid when my watch won't work with an NFC POS terminal.
