23 Contactless Payment Concepts

From Mobile Payment Gadgets to Password-Free Online Shopping

— September 16, 2015 — Tech
Contactless payment solutions are altering the way modern banking is being conducted. As mobile payment gadgets and password-free online shopping continue to enter the mainstream, consumers are coming to expect expediency when it comes to processing and authentication.

Contributing to the instantaneous focus of contemporary banking are biometric concepts and wearables that are allowing users to physically tote necessary financial tools. The minimization of materials will benefit brands that can now enter into diverse sales spaces.

Considering the expediency factor that reigns supreme in this category, there are many overarching implications for key players in the brick-and-mortar retail and e-commerce sectors. By eliminating even one step, young shoppers who preference efficiency will be enticed, especially where sufficient security is provided.
