Influx of Mobile Payment Options Challenges CUs

Apple Pay adoption, for example, is low, according to research from the Dallas-based Parks Associates. Only 10% of iPhone owners have used Apple Pay, and, among those who have not used it, 63% said it is because their preferred merchants do not support it as a payment option.

“Only 19% of U.S. smartphone owners and 15% of smart watch owners have used a mobile payment app,” the firm said.
