COVID Impact


High Chances of Transmitting Coronavirus through Cash and Card to Impact Growth


The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a shift in the payment market. Amid the pandemic, there has been a significant change in consumer behavior which has resulted in the higher adoption of contactless transactions, boost in online commerce, increasing usage of digital wallets, among others. According to the MasterCard Corporation survey, 79 percent of consumers globally are using contactless payment to maintain safety during the pandemic. The survey also predicts that 46 percent of card users have swapped their cards with contactless payment methods such as mobile payment, digital wallets, and net banking. Also, the report states that the consumers are planning to use this payment mode post pandemic.


Additionally, credit cards and cash have high chances of carrying and transmitting the virus. Considering this, the World Health Organizations has urged people to adopt contactless payment as much as possible. Owing to this, PayPal Inc. measured the new account enrollment of 7.4 million net customers in April. Thus, the demand and growth of the payment is likely to increase significantly post COVID-19.


However, due to social distancing and a decline in the consumer spending, the demand has collapsed across industries such as entertainment, travel, airlines, hospitality, and other non-essential things. This has resulted in the reduction of transaction volume and cross-border payments. This is impacting the transaction volume of the payments.

Increasing Adoption of Artificial Intelligence in Payment Technology is a Prominent Trend


The payment industry is expected to incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) to drive its increasing transactional volume and to enhance payment processing. Also, to detect payment fraud, AI is being adopted for tracking the customer data rapidly and efficiently. Machine learning algorithms can leverage historical records to determine patterns and predict the possibility of fraud and attacks before they occur. Similarly, AI offers easy and improved customer service by using the insights collected from the customer’s transaction data. For instance, Citigroup’s Citi Treasury and Trade Solutions leverages AI technology to smoothen its accounts’ payable process. This is likely to boost the online payment market growth in near future.


DRIVING FACTORS


Rising Government Initiatives will Drive Adoption of Online Payment


The governments across several countries are increasingly adopting digital payments solutions to conduct transactions with businesses and citizens more simply and conveniently. For instance, the European Central Bank launched Target Instant Payment Settlement service by using the digital payment system to enable businesses and consumers across 19 European nations to transfer money in seconds.


With the adoption of online payment platforms, the government can increase the transparency along with security, which can help to reduce corruption and fraudulent activities. For instance, according to the report of The World Bank Research Observer 2017, by adoption of online transactions for distributing pension and wages, the Mexico government saw a 3.3% drop in its cost. Similarly, according to the report by NITI Aayog in partnership with the International Energy Agency 2020, in India, the government saved almost USD 8.8 billion by adopting the online banking payment mode in its fuel subsidy program during 2013-2020. Thus, this is likely to drive the market in the coming years.


Retail Industry is Likely to Boost Growth of Market


The increasing opportunities for E-commerce are likely to boost the online retail sales. Further, with the help of mobile payments, retailers can have access to the customer data such as their preference, regular intervals of shopping, top selling products, and more. Retailers are using the insights to offer proper customer services. For instance, Starbucks developed its mobile payment app for customers to select the menu by directly paying from their bank account. Along with this, it provides various discount codes, loyalty points, and services to increase customer engagement. Thus, the retail industry is creating immense opportunities for this market.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Security Concern is Expected to Hamper Payment Market


The security concerns related to loss of data and privacy is the major barrier for the adoption of the online payment system. According to PwC’s Mobile Payment Report, in 2019, across Europe, more than 50 percent of customers listed privacy as the key concern, whereas 75% of respondents stated that security is the major concern. Similarly, according to the Reserve Bank of Australia, the card-not-present transaction is the most prevalent type of fraud in Australia. This is likely to hamper the market growth.
