Abstract : This paper reviews some logical and statistical data on how widely the use of digital payments will impact our economy. At this point, an argument has arisen regarding which (cash and digital money) is more convenient for the future economy. The paper aims to explore economic opportunities in terms of security, efficiency, and transparency. This study will not only reflect the economic benefits of being a cashless economy but also demonstrate the rationale that money management can be simplified through digital payment systems. The paper will talk about some of the shortcomings of the digital payment system and how we can solve them. The research findings confirm that the widespread use of digital money will accelerate our economic growth and also benefit daily life. Using digital payments also has some dangers like adoption and privacy. This paper clearly shows how to handle such problems. This study provides a quantitative argument for positioning digital payments as the beginning of a new economic revolution.

Keywords : E-payment, Digital money, Economic growth, Privacy and Security, financial inclusion, Future Economy.
