Payment methods
Cash
This is the most commonly used way of paying. it can either be in the form of coins or notes
It is very fast and very easy to pay with
It has to be taken from an ATM and carrying large amounts is risky
It is easy to steal and hard to store in big amounts
Great for receiving small payments
Cheque
This is an instruction from the bank to withdraw manoey from one account and put it into another
Can be sent by post and no receipt is required
If the payee does not have the money then the cheque "bounces"
This method hardly never goes wrong and there is no need to carry large amounts of cash
Some banks charge businesses to use cheques and it takes up to 5 working days the for the money to transfer
Credit card
This is a plastic card that allows you to borrow money from the bank and pay it back at the end of the month
Easy and conveinient
Interest charges can be very high so can get you into debt
There is a swipe system that recognises fake card and money transfer is automatic
Sellers have to pay a fee
Debit card
This is much like a credit card apart from you use the money from your account so you don't need to pay it back
Money is your so there is no overspending and no risk of debt
If you don't have the correct funds the card will be rejected which is embarrasing
The handling charges are cheaper and is less prone to fraud
The money is not transferred for up to 3 days
Credit transfer
This takes money for one business or account and puts it straight into another
Very fast to use
could get transferred to wrong account but this is very unlikely
Few security problems as system is modern
Minor problems could turn into huge ones
