Overview
OS-based mobile wallets, particularly Apple’s, maintain the dominant share of the market. But challengers are coming in various alternative payment forms (such as account-to-account transactions) and in-app payments favored by merchants wishing to disengage from interchange rates that come with the predominant funding sources of those wallets (that is, cards). As mobile wallet providers play defense against these threats, look for new functionalities and alliances that they hope will bolster their market position.
