Progress, as in, you've gained the privilege of third parties tracking every payment and every bill you've split with friends, sure.

Let's be realistic; payment services are convenient, but not advantageous in every single way.

I don’t have an issue with my bank tracking my purchases. In fact I like it. Not everyone wants to live in a constant state of looking over your shoulder. If we’ve reached that point the problem is not the banks, but the other parties. Going back to old technology is not a solution I want. Regulating the problem areas would be better.
