Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?
Remember the true meaning of Christmas by giving a charitable donation this holiday season. Look out for a Goodbox contactless donation device to instantly give digitally. Or for something more long-term, US financial platform Daffy helps you set money aside automatically, investing it via DAF (donor-advised fund) and then donating it to any of over 1.5 million charities. In the UK, the financial app Cleo has a one-click charity donation option for you to feel the spirit of Christmas all year round.
I should be paying in the winter snow
Despite the push to digital, cash is still the second most important payment method, with payments made with cash rising for the first time in a decade. Skip the socks and smellies this year and gift your people some cold hard cash to make them smile this Christmas.
