These June 2020 market trends range from local business gift cards to remote work pivots.
Notable examples include Square Up's recent announcement -- allowing the electronic payment platform's employees to work from home permanently following the COVID-19 pandemic and at-home social distancing efforts. The company's decision illustrates how the future of work will change for businesses and consumers as a whole following the global event.
Other June 2020 market trends to note include e-commerce security platform BioCatch and the ways it's making online shopping experiences safer for consumers. The company recently announced as set of new and improved "behavioral biometrics capabilities" that have been integrated into its existing software in an effort to make online transactions safer and more private.
