Digitally transferring money is now essential. Friends pay each other back digitally instead of with cash. Facebook messenger can integrate with PayPal so buyers from Facebook Marketplace can pay for their purchases digitally. More and more small businesses are finding the need to give their customers more options to pay. Cash and checks are becoming harder to find in the hands of millennials and generation z. Mobile wallets like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay, and cash apps like Venmo, PayPal, and Cash App, are becoming the new essential method of payment.
According to a recent report, there was $6.1 billion worth of transactions from mobile wallets alone in 2019. This is expected to reach $13.98 billion by 2022. That means the mobile wallet market should double in the next two years.
Mobile only banking is also beginning to trend and is projected to reach high popularity with generation z.
