What's the one Christmas gift that’s always a hit? The answer: Cash. 🎄🎁💸 According to a 2023 YouGov survey for the German Retail Association, 19% of Germans opted for cash as a gift. But this trend isn't just limited to Germany. Worldwide, cash continues to be a sought-after gift. In the U.S., for example, a recent Lending Tree survey found that 40% of consumers prefer cash as a holiday gift. Cash is practical, flexible, and universal. And in countries like China, Japan, and Korea, gifting money during holidays and special events is a long-standing tradition. So why does cash remain so popular? We believe: Because it offers the freedom to choose, the flexibility to buy what’s truly wanted and wherever it is discovered. At G+D, we're proud to ensure that cash remains a secure, sustainable, and relevant part of the global society, especially in an increasingly digital world. 🌍💡 #Currency #Cash #ChristmasGifting

The only thing that helps against smart fraudsters: even smarter security solutions! 🤓 E-commerce is booming at Christmas time - but so does sophisticated fraud. To combat the rise of online payment fraud, where stolen card details are used for transactions, payment solutions must therefore become ever more secure... So how about a card verification number on your card that changes with every payment? Cards like the Convego Secure Code have an EMV micromodule with an integrated screen that displays a dynamic Card Verification Value (often known as CVV or CVC). A new code can be generated for each transaction. Customers can also refresh the code on demand via their banking app. Even better? The card doesn't contain a battery! This solution provides a new level of eCommerce security - and we're not the only ones who think so. Partnering with ellipse and Credit Agricole Payment Services, we jointly won the top prize for most innovative smart card at the TRUSTECH Event! 🥳 Learn more about our smart cards here: https://di-ri.co/wq2UR #ePay #Security #eCommerce #ConvegoSecureCode #PaymentCard
