Digital payment systems have changed the way consumers make purchases, transfer money, and manage everyday financial transactions. Payment methods such as Unified Payments Interface (UPI), debit cards, credit cards, internet banking, and mobile wallets offer alternatives to cash and may influence spending habits, transaction choices, and perceptions of money. This study examines digital payment usage and its relationship with consumer financial behavior, using the survey-response PDF supplied for the project. The questionnaire includes information on respondents’ demographic backgrounds, payment methods, frequency and purposes of use, duration of experience, transaction amount categories, opinions about digital payments, perceived effects on spending, and satisfaction. A descriptive and exploratory approach is adopted. The visible responses indicate varied use of digital payment methods and a range of opinions, including positive, neutral, and negative views. Because some column labels and values are truncated in the PDF export, exact percentages and statistical relationships must be calculated from the original response spreadsheet before final submission. The study highlights the importance of understanding how convenience, user experience, awareness, and trust may relate to consumer financial behavior.
