The C.A.S.H.E.W. Model for Safe Digital Payment Habits
One idea recurs with intention: safe systems endure when safe habits endure. The C.A.S.H.E.W. Model is a simple, human checklist for mindful digital payments. C — Check the source Before scanning or approving, confirm who you are paying. A — Avoid haste and impulse Speed is powerful, but pause is protective. S — Secure your device Updates, locks, and alerts are quiet guardians. H — Help others transact safely Especially first-time users and senior citizens . E — Educate through example Good habits spread faster than warnings. W — Watch for red flags Unusual requests , urgency , or unfamiliar flows . These are not rules imposed from above. They are behaviours practiced from within. About this page: This note documents a behavioural framework developed through long-term observation of everyday digital payment use. 01 LinkedIn Profile
