    Visa Digital-Payment-Studie: Digitales Bezahlen immer beliebter 

    Laut einer neuen Visa Studie hat sich die Zahl der europäischen Verbraucher, die regelmässig ein mobiles Endgerät – das heisst Smartphone, Tablet oder Wearable – für das nutzen, im letzten Jahr verdreifacht. Aktuell verwenden 54% der befragten Verbraucher regelmässig ein mobiles Gerät, um Produkte und Dienstleistungen zu bezahlen. Bei der gleichen Befragung im Vorjahr waren es nur 18%.

    Für die Studie wurden mehr als 36.000 Konsumenten in 19 europäischen Ländern befragt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Akzeptanz des digitalen Bezahlens in den vergangenen 12 Monaten stark zugenommen hat. Noch vor einem Jahr gaben 38 % der Befragten an, noch nie ein mobiles Endgerät zum Bezahlen benutzt zu haben und dies auch nicht vorzuhaben. Heute ist diese Zahl auf 12% gesunken.

    Die Top Ten der Länder, in denen Bezahlen am weitesten verbreitet ist, lassen sich dabei in zwei Gruppen unterteilen: Auf einer Seite stehen aufstrebende Märkte wie die Türkei oder Rumänien, die traditionelle Bezahlmethoden übersprungen und neue Technologien schneller adaptiert haben. Auf der anderen Seite stehen weit entwickelte Märkte, insbesondere die nordischen Länder, die neue Technologien schnell annehmen.

    73% der Schweizer nutzt digitales Bezahlen
    In der Schweiz nutzen insgesamt 73% der Befragten, die ein Smartphone, Tablet oder Wearable besitzen, digitales Bezahlen. 49% davon nutzen ihre mobilen Endgeräte für E-Banking und 42% bezahlen damit In-App Käufe. Die Befragten fühlen sich insgesamt wohl dabei, mit mobilen Endgeräten zu bezahlen, unabhängig davon, ob es sich um teure oder günstigere Produkte und Dienstleistungen handelt. In der Schweiz begleichen 27% höhere Beträge, beispielsweise für Reisen oder Elektrogeräte, digital. 38% bezahlen so Bus- oder Zugtickets.

    Stefan Holbein, Country Manager von Europe Schweiz, sagt: „Die Zukunft des Bezahlens hat bereits begonnen. Verbraucher in der Schweiz und Europa nutzen heute eine Vielzahl neuer Bezahlmethoden. Mit dem Markteintritt von Apple Pay diesen Sommer kann in der Schweiz, als einem der ersten Länder in Europa, bereits an über 100‘000 kontaktlosen Zahlterminals mobil bezahlt werden.

    &;Millionen vernetzter Geräte werden es ermöglichen, tägliche Zahlungen einfach und sicher in nahezu jede Technologie zu integrieren. Wir erleben aktuell eine neue Ära des Bezahlens mit Wearables wie Smartwatches, Armbändern und sogar Kleidung. Dieser Trend wird sich weiterentwickeln und es Verbrauchern ermöglichen, die vernetzten Geräte zu verwenden, die am besten zu ihrem individuellen Lebensstil passen.“

     

    Kontaktloses Bezahlen ist Basis für digitales Bezahlen

    Die zunehmende Nutzung des digitalen Bezahlens hängt mit der wachsenden Verbreitung des kontaktlosen Bezahlens zusammen. Die Studie zeigt, dass kontaktloses Bezahlen mittlerweile über alle Altersgruppen hinweg eine alltägliche Bezahlmethode ist. In der Schweiz haben in diesem Jahr fast die Hälfte (48%) der Befragten kontaktlos bezahlt. Personen zwischen 25 und 34 Jahren nutzen das kontaktlose Bezahlen mit 54% am häufigsten. Europaweit sind die Nutzer kontaktloser Karten ausserdem weitaus offener für neue Bezahlmethoden als Verbraucher, die nicht kontaktlos bezahlen. Sie sind stärker daran interessiert, mit mobilen Geräten in Geschäften zu bezahlen (52% der Verbraucher, die kontaktlos bezahlen, vs. 32% der Konsumenten, die dies nicht tun), über die App eines Händlers einzukaufen (49 % vs. 31%) oder mit mobilen Geräten ein Essen zu bezahlen (50% vs. 30%).

    Will PayPal’s Deals With MasterCard And Visa Spark a Revolution in Mobile Payments? 

    aaeaaqaaaaaaaafcaaaajgfhzdhjmzrjlwu3zjetngi5ni05mja3lwyyowm1odm0ywfkoa

    famously split from eBay Inc. last year leaving many to wonder what their next move would be. Over the years the online-payments pioneer had picked a few unwise fights with heavyweights such as and . But there finally seems to be a change of strategy.

    PayPal Joins the Fold

    PayPal sealed deals with Visa and MasterCard that will soon allow customers to select their credit or debit cards as default payment methods rather than just their bank account or PayPal balance.

    By calling a truce on their battles with the major card issuers in the industry, it seems the initiative is to promote PayPal as a universally accepted method of payment both online and offline.

    It’s refreshing to see , credit card companies, and PayPal putting their differences to one side. Traditional banking had made no secret about being resentful of PayPal’s free bank transfers and heavily promoting its online payment system over conventional banking.

    The recent deals seem to satisfy all parties as they realize they are all stronger together than apart. Ultimately, PayPal will enjoy lower fees and obtain a visibility in physical stores for quick and easy payments. MasterCard and Visa will get their hands on customer data they were previously locked out of. But more importantly, they should see a massive increase in online and .

    The strategic decision by PayPal enhances their reputation as a universally accepted payment method while card issuers receive much-needed help with their mobile payments initiatives.

    Payment Practices Upheaved

    PayPal is encouraging its customers to pay using their service as a mobile wallet. The blurry line between online checkouts and those we find in physical shopping malls is close to being torn down. In many ways, 2016 is proving to be a watershed moment regarding payments as users begin to embrace smartphone and contactless payment cards.

    Numerous reports suggest the recent deals could subject PayPal to losses in the short term. But it’s clear the online payments giant is playing the long game here. With 157 million active account holders worldwide and widely known as one most common online payment methods, getting Visa and MasterCard on board to pursue the high street is a very shrewd move.

    Cultural Change Vis-à-vis Digital

    All consumers are essentially carrying around a super computer in their pockets. The ability to book a restaurant table, cab or accommodation on the other side of the world with a few taps of a smartphone screen has changed everything.

    The bottom line is that all consumers now have a simple set of 21st-century demands. The choice to pay when, where and how we want in a seamless, simple and secure method. The easier companies make exchanges, the faster they will happen.

    The biggest obstacle to widespread mobile payments is industry fragmentation. Platforms such as Apple Pay, Android Pay, and Samsung Pay are all heavily reliant on devices and software. This is not the way it should be. If you replace your smartphone, it should not affect how you pay for items online or offline.

    Bluntly put, people want a universal platform that will make it easy to share and spend money. Maybe other businesses will begin to follow the positive example set by Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal.

    Digital Transformation Shows No Signs of Abating

    The simplification and personalization of everything shouldn’t be labeled disruptive. Technology is being interwoven seamlessly and invisibly into our daily lives. If anything, it’s the opposite of disruption. It’s imperceptible.

    Businesses that team up in this way and merge their forces have a better chance of underpinning consumer’s lives from the ground up. This unity is a point in case.
