Apple Pay and Google Pay are convenient services that allow you to pay for purchases only using your smartphone. Bridge is supported on both services and they are easy to set up. Gone are the days where you need to worry about having your cash or card on you.

The convenience is great and it is also common knowledge that cash and coins can carry germs. Your cards are no exception. This is something to consider given the current situation of the global pandemic caused by COVID-19. According to a new study from the National Institute of Health, COVID-19 can last anywhere from hours to days on hard surfaces.

Technology has offered us ease in adapting to the changes we are facing in day-to-day life right now. With schools closed, they are able to continue education through distance learning. With zoos and museums closed, they are able to stream their exhibits to those who wish to virtually visit. For a healthier way to pay, consider using Apple or Google Pay. Doing so will allow you to make transactions without making unnecessary contact with clerks. Taking this simple step is just one way you can help keep yourself and those around you healthy in this challenging time. Disinfecting your smartphone and mobile devices periodically is another healthy habit you can include in your daily routine.
