Mobile payment (also known as mobile money, mobile money transfer, and mobile wallet) refers to payment services that are carried out from or via a mobile device and are governed by financial regulations. A user can use a mobile phone to pay for a variety of services and digital or tangible products instead of cash, check, or credit card.

The expansion of digital wallets is aiding the mobile payment market expansion. In 2023, 53% of Americans made more frequent use of digital wallets than traditional payment methods.
Another trend aiding the market is the rise of mobile point of sale (mPOS), which has shifted card payment processing to a wireless economy, offering a space-saving, wire-free solution for accepting payments. Apple has successfully integrated mPOS into its operations.
Some of the factors driving the mobile payment market growth are the rising internet penetration and growing smartphone ownership.
