Mobile payment systems are the answer to the ever-growing demand for an agile customer experience, one where anything can be bought through your phone. The operative word here is of course, mobile. Customers are on the move; they communicate via mobile, and how they want to pay is through devices native and familiar to their everyday.

How mobile payment systems work is to allow the customer through a mobile device to pay for a good or service wherever they are, be it on the top of a mountain ordering a juice for the end of their hike or walking around a store.
