With more and more people wanting an easy and quick way to buy things, digital and cashless payment methods have become popular. Big brands are joining the trend, offering apps and services that let customers pay with their smartphones. Google Wallet is a fast and handy mobile payment service for Apple and Android users. It acts like a virtual wallet, letting users make payments and transfer money from their smartphones. Google Wallet is free and lets users store information from credit cards, debit cards, gift cards, and loyalty cards all in one place. Google is also adding a facial recognition feature to confirm a person's identity and use the same credentials for any transaction.
Big banks like JPMorgan Chase & Co., Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo & Co., and U.S. Bancorp have teamed up to create a money transfer platform called clearXchange. This platform allows customers to instantly transfer funds to another bank account using their phones. Many mobile online payment platforms have emerged with various convenient features. For example, PayPal, an online payment app, lets users pay for items using a secure internet account authorized with their email address and PayPal password. Users just need to add their bank account, credit card, or debit card details to make purchases through the app. They don't have to share more personal and financial details with the website, making PayPal very safe. Payments can be settled through smartphones or tablets, making it easy for customers to pay anywhere. PayPal also offers protection for both buyers and sellers.
One major trend in the online payment gateway market is the development of mobile payment options, and it's become a priority for retailers. Mobile wallets, like those on smartphones, are becoming a popular payment method and are expected to make up a significant part of overall e-commerce. People want payment options like mobile wallets, and their adoption rates are expected to be a big part of online shopping. With more services like fraud prevention and faster mobile checkout accompanying mobile payments, the number of online payment apps and their easy use via mobile phones is expected to rise.
