The Ultimate Guide To Mobile Payment Technologies

A mobile payment is a monetary transaction made for a product or service via a portable electronic device such as a tablet or cell phone. Mobile payment technology, such as PayPal and Venmo, can also be used to send money to friends and family members.


According To Coherent Market Insights " The global mobile payment technologies is estimated to account for US$ 664.19 Bn in 2019 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 21.3% over the forecasted period 2019-27. "


Many banks have recently integrated technology into their banking apps that allows customers to send money to friends and family members instantly from their bank accounts. Mobile payment technologies can also be made in-store by scanning a barcode with an app on your phone, with merchants ranging from convenience stores to large, multi-national retailers accepting payments. The purchase price can be deducted from a pre-loaded value on the account associated with the specific store, or it can be paid with a credit or debit card. Payment information is encrypted during transmission, making it a safer payment method than using a debit or credit card.


Mobile payments first gained popularity in Asia and Europe before spreading to the United States and Canada. Initially, mobile payments were sent via text message. Later, technology enabled check images to be taken with a cell phone camera and sent to the payment recipient. This technology evolved into mobile check deposit features for banking apps.


When a payment reader and a mobile device, such as a phone, are close to each other, they can communicate wirelessly, hence the term "near field." Your phone must be less than two inches away from a reader in order to process payment. NFC is a subset of radio-frequency identification (RFID), a technology that uses radio waves to identify objects and properties. The POS and your device communicate using RFID during a mobile wallet transaction. They exchange encrypted information in a matter of seconds to process a payment.
