Study shows iPhone owners open to mobile payments
A British study by research and consulting firm YouGov reveals that almost half of iPhone owners are open to making mobile payments.
-
46% of iPhone owners in the UK would be willing to pay bills using their iPhone
-
62% would transfer funds from one account to another
-
69% would check account balances
-
45% would feel comfortable making payments to other people. Those numbers bode well for companies like
iZettle and Square, who just released its
Square Card Case app today.
-
Despite this, only 31% of those polled reported that they would feel comfortable making contactless payments through
near field communication(NFC) technology. That could be due to the fact that people seem to have a
distrust for the technology, assuming that simply walking past a NFC reader will lead to your bank accounts being drained by some malevolent hacker.*
