Quiz Of The Week: Mobile Payments

Smartphones have transformed the way we live and work over the past few years, and now they’re coming after the way we shop and spend. Apple’s launch of a mobile payments system alongside its latest smartphones earlier this month was a measure of how the industry has grown as consumer habits shift towards a mobile-centered approach.

Recent research estimated that alternative payment methods such as e-wallets will be more popular online than credit and debit cards in just a matter of years, with the  value of mobile transactions also set to increase to around $117 billion (£70.6bn). Alongside traditional powerhouses such as eBay and Amazon, there are hundreds of start-ups looking to gain a piece of this lucrative market, making it one of the most dynamic and developing fields in technology today.
