Mobile Commerce Market Study

Mobile payments is high on the agenda for many Banks and Processors. It’s mass market adoption can be specifically likened to the move to chip over the last 8-10 years. The PayX Mobile Commerce report highlights that the mobile payments scope is more diverse and much larger than chip and as a new channel can also generally be compared to the previous major channel move to the web. With the continual improvement of device and network capabilities the mobile phones present unique opportunities in the mobile financial services area, which are now being leveraged by major industry value chain participants. In this report we provide customers with an informed understanding of mobile payments including an awareness of the key drivers, trends and timelines.
