Nowadays, mobile payments are gaining popularity as they offer enhanced security features and convenience to users. Moreover, the growing penetration of smartphones and easy access to the internet have encouraged tech-savvy consumers to prefer mobile-based payments. Besides this, many payment networks are collaborating with mobile operators to provide advanced mobile payment solutions, especially in emerging markets.
