As the COVID-19 pandemic has cut a deadly path across the globe, killing too many people in countries far and wide, it unexpectedly set off a revolution in digital payments to cope with its impact.

That means upstart fintechs, such as digital payments company Stripe and buy now-pay later provider Affirm, will keep offering new ways to make payments as they suck up billions in investor dollars aimed at creating faster, easier and cheaper worldwide payment tools.
