Dublin, Sept. 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Digital Consumer Payment Trends in the U.S." report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Already in growth mode, digital consumer payments are now in hyperdrive, driven by a pandemic that has shifted consumer shopping and purchasing much further into the digital realm. This shift, however, also benefits from broader macro trends: Riding mobile banking tailwinds, mobile payment accounts have become mainstream choices, and fintech innovation is quickly pushing open banking, neobanks, and point-of-sale installment loans forward. Meanwhile, the faster payments opportunity beckons - and mobile banking may enable consumers to realize the benefits of faster payments most fully. In the process, the act of making a payment is fading into the background, integrating itself seamlessly into the customer purchase experience.
