  • Financial Transactions Are Made Through the Transfer of Digital Information (Usually an Electronic Representation of Money) Between the Transacting Parties: This reflects the practical aspect of a cashless society, where digital means like electronic transfers, credit/debit cards, and digital wallets replace physical cash.
