E-payment provides an alternative way to send and receive money online. However, there are some risks such as not being protected by financial compensation schemes if a company fails and personal information being accessible to intelligence agencies. Additionally, internet access is required to access online accounts. Some benefits of e-payment include time savings, expense control, and low commissions. Common e-payment types are payment cards, e-wallets, smart cards, e-cash, and e-checks. Examples of e-payment systems include M-Banking, PayPal, Google Wallet, and Amazon Payments.
