Mobile Payments

Mobile payments refer to financial transactions conducted through a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet. This process allows users to make purchases, send money, or pay bills electronically using mobile applications, digital wallets, or contactless payment technologies like Near Field Communication (NFC). Mobile payments can be facilitated via various platforms, including banking apps, specialized payment apps (like PayPal or Venmo), or integrated features found in smartphones (like Apple Pay or Google Pay). The system generally involves linking the payment method, such as a credit or debit card, to the mobile application, enabling seamless transactions without the need for physical cash or cards. Mobile payments are increasingly popular due to their convenience, speed, and enhanced security features like encryption and biometric authentication.
