Increasing digitalization and growing internet penetration is expected to offer new opportunities in the global Mobile Payments market

Proximity payments are made via mobile phones and point-of-sale equipment. Several companies now offer software that allow for proximity payments. Payments made through a merchant's POS terminal at a retail store are referred to as in-store payments, whereas payments made at a location are referred to as in-location payments. When both the payer and the payee are in the same location, proximity payments are authorised for short distances and work. To initiate a mobile money transaction, this payment method uses either barcodes or contactless interfaces. This is accomplished using Near-field communication (NFC)-based technology on an NFC-enabled phone, which has detailed information about a cloud-based mobile wallet or a debit/credit card. This payee information is kept on a chip in the POS terminal that is read by an NFC reader. Proximity payments are distinct from remote payments in that they require the presence of payment card details from one's own bank account and do not rely on a payment processor to complete the transaction. The growing use of mobile payment technology by brick-and-mortar businesses is fueling demand for proximity payments.
