UK Mobile Payments Market Trends:

The UK market for mobile payments is undergoing strong change, being shaped by technical advance and evolving customer habits. Widespread usage of contactless payments, hastened by the pandemic and supported by growing levels of NFC-capable smartphone take-up, are a characteristic feature. Digital wallets such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay are also winning attention, with customers increasingly being users of new-payment technologies from mainstream banks in emerging markets.". Besides, the market is also experiencing a rise in "buy now, pay later" (BNPL) implementations in mobile payment apps, deconstructing the distinction between transactions and lending.

In addition, open banking initiatives are promoting seamless peer-to-peer (P2P) payments and real-time transactions via apps such as PayPal and Revolut. Essentially, the intersection of security improvements (e.g., biometric verification) and hyper-personalized loyalty programs is transforming the way consumers engage with mobile payment platforms.
