What this question trains
This problem practices how to connect a macro shock to customer behavior, merchant acceptance, and payments technology adoption. In a FIG interview, that matters because candidates are often expected to think about how external events can change transaction volumes, payment habits, and the competitive position of fintech and banking clients. The key reasoning is to explain why a health crisis can speed up demand for contactless payment methods, how businesses respond by changing checkout and ordering processes, and why wider use by consumers and merchants can create a reinforcing adoption cycle.
