Older adults are more vulnerable to digital fraud, as Mexico accelerates its move towards electronic payments

The Mexican government is currently advancing the Law of Digital Economy, a legislative initiative designed to transition the country away from cash-based commercial transactions toward electronic payment systems. This shift is intended to modernize the national financial infrastructure and streamline trade processes.

Despite the push for digital adoption, data indicates that older adults in Mexico remain the demographic most susceptible to digital fraud. As the country accelerates its transition to electronic payments, the vulnerability of this population highlights a significant challenge in ensuring secure financial inclusion for all citizens during the digital transformation.
