In many cases, all they need to do is scan a QR code to pay with their mobile phone. From the customer&#8217;s point of view, they get the option not to carry their bulky wallets around, keep track of different types of cards, and sort out cash change. Overall, mobile payments give buyers one less thing to worry about because they are user-friendly and save time. <\/p><p>You can also expand your payment methods to include mobile payments for your business, ultimately bringing in more customers and sales.

Let\u2019s discuss the five most common mobile payment methods people use in the UK.<\/p><p><br \/><strong>1. Contactless payments<\/strong><br \/>This is when you pay by tapping your smartphone on a card machine. It works using the near-field communication technology that we mentioned earlier in the blog, too. This method is commonly used in grocery stores, shopping centers, and restaurants where there is a fixed payment till to pay at.<\/p><p><strong>2. QR code payments<\/strong><br \/>This method is similar to a contactless payment, but instead of tapping a card machine, you use your payment application to initiate the payment. Use the built-in scanner of the application to scan the business\u2019s QR code at the checkout. This code brings up the payment information, like the account number of the business, after which you can enter the amount to confirm the transfer. It is more affordable than owning a card machine, so small businesses like street vendors, stalls, and cafes prefer it.<\/p><p><strong>3. Mobile wallets<\/strong><br \/>Mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay) provide a replacement for carrying around your physical cards to pay. If you use more than one wallet, you can keep all of them in one place for quick payment options.<br \/>The mobile wallet applications store your card details on your phone. You can easily make a payment by accessing the application and tapping your phone at the card machine.<\/p><p><strong>4. Online banking options<\/strong><br \/>With this method, you can use your bank\u2019s application to send and receive money straight from your account. Depending on the features of the application, you can either manually enter the bank account details or scan a QR code to initiate the transaction.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-910cb96 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"910cb96\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f6d2851\" data-id=\"f6d2851\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3cd838b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3cd838b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"key_mobile_payment_statistics_updated_for_2025\"><\/span>Key mobile payment statistics (updated for 2025)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4ddcde9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"4ddcde9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7bba25ce\" data-id=\"7bba25ce\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2738850e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2738850e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It is important to understand the condition of mobile payment trends in the UK so your business can keep up with them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7a047a5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"7a047a5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-184c6d1\" data-id=\"184c6d1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4301f84 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4301f84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Global mobile payment statistics:<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ecf9156 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ecf9156\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ol><li>In 2023, global mobile payment transaction volume reached $2.3 trillion\/\u00a31.8 trillion., which was a 16.6% annual increase <strong>(Business of Apps).<\/strong><\/li><li>Over 2 billion people used mobile payments in 2023 worldwide <strong>(Business of Apps).<\/strong><\/li><li>The global mobile payment market is expected to grow from $3.84 trillion\/\u00a32.99 trillion in 2024 to $27.81 trillion\/\u00a321.7 trillion by 2032, at a CAGR of 28.1%.
