Payment methods
  1. Cash
    1. This is the most commonly used way of paying. it can either be in the form of coins or notes
      1. It is very fast and very easy to pay with
        1. It has to be taken from an ATM and carrying large amounts is risky
        2. It is easy to steal and hard to store in big amounts
          1. Great for receiving small payments
      2. Cheque
        1. This is an instruction from the bank to withdraw manoey from one account and put it into another
          1. Can be sent by post and no receipt is required
            1. If the payee does not have the money then the cheque "bounces"
            2. This method hardly never goes wrong and there is no need to carry large amounts of cash
              1. Some banks charge businesses to use cheques and it takes up to 5 working days the for the money to transfer
          2. Credit card
            1. This is a plastic card that allows you to borrow money from the bank and pay it back at the end of the month
              1. Easy and conveinient
                1. Interest charges can be very high so can get you into debt
                2. There is a swipe system that recognises fake card and money transfer is automatic
                  1. Sellers have to pay a fee
              2. Debit card
                1. 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
                  1. Money is your so there is no overspending and no risk of debt
                    1. If you don't have the correct funds the card will be rejected which is embarrasing
                    2. The handling charges are cheaper and is less prone to fraud
                      1. The money is not transferred for up to 3 days
                  2. Credit transfer
                    1. This takes money for one business or account and puts it straight into another
                      1. Very fast to use
                        1. could get transferred to wrong account but this is very unlikely
                        2. Few security problems as system is modern
                          1. Minor problems could turn into huge ones
