Eric Alvarado, 21, communication studies major

“It depends on the situation, but I would prefer using mobile (emoney), it’s easier. Say it’s raining or something you can send someone money and not get wet.”

Clayton Martinez, 20, fire science major

“I prefer cash because you’re more in control with the money, and less things can go wrong. I don’t mind emoney, but if I have the option to use cash I will.”

“I prefer using emoney, I’ve used Apple Pay and Paypal. I believe technology has come a long way and you can rely on it keeping your money and information safe.”

Kevin Caceros, 21, English major

“With mobile banking (emoney) you’re not too sure the money is there, but with cash the money is there. Someone could owe you $20 but only have $10 in their account. It’s better to have the money physically.”

Katherine Peña, 19, sociology major

“I prefer cash, it’s more secure like that. You never know what an app or something might do with your money and information. I always carry cash.”
