The rapid development of mobile technology, smart phones, mobile payment has penetrated all corners of the world. Mobile users increasingly use the smartphone to buy online, preferably an Apple and Android. Mobile payment platforms allow people to make payments, transfer money and manage their finances anytime, anywhere.
In mid-2015, 36% of global mobile payments at e-commerce sites are made on iPhone. Note that this index does not take into account mobile "in-app" payments. According to studies, the mobile share of online payments on mobile Internet sites increased from 27.2% in the first quarter of 2015 to 28.7% in the second quarter. In terms of volume of transactions, smartphones dominate to a large extent and confirm their first place, moving from 61.8% of mobile transactions in the first quarter of 2015 to 64.1% in the second quarter.
In retail, purchases of physical goods (ready-made, furniture, appliances and food) are growing in mobile phones. Purchases of video games, subscription to a service or hotel reservations and ticket sales are made by 26%, compared to 21% at the beginning of the year, in smartphones.
Europe tops mobile shopping -
Geographically, Europe continues to lead mobile purchases (30.4%), followed by North America (26.7%) and Asia (21.4%). It should be noted that all these regions saw the share of mobile payments increase by about one percentage point compared to the previous quarter. Within the Europe zone, the UK remains the leader with 44.8% of mobile online payments, ahead of the Netherlands (32.9%) and Spain (28.3%) and Germany (23.6%).
Huge potential even in developing countries:
Total transactions in T-mall in China during 2015 amounted to US $ 14.34 billion, of which 68.67% were completed through mobile payment. With these success stories in the online payment market, Alipay.com launched its own Alipay mobile payment wallet; while Tencent, a successful provider of social networking services, launched WeChat mobile wallet.
Compared with PC-based online payment, mobile payment allows users to perform payment transactions at any time and from any location with the help of mobile networks and terminals. Mobile devices have several limitations, such as small screens, low processing capacity and inconvenient input. But overall trust is crucial to counteract uncertain situations, encourage future transactions and develop successful long-term relationships.
Mobile payment user's Perspective of trust -
This theory includes trust in the source, trust in the target and source-objective relationships as the core components of the trust transfer process. Based on the theory of trust transfer, this study proposes that trust in online payment (i.e., trust in the source) and two source-target relationship factors, i.e. perceived similarity and entitativity, affect trust in the mobile payment (i.e., trust in target). In turn, the resulting trust influences the user's satisfaction and the intention to continue towards mobile payment in a context of online-mobile payment.
