These mobile transactions were a means of earlier transactions mode in the form of bank transactions. However, with the growing traffic in the mobile transaction space, there is more room for other players to get into this transaction space.

E-wallets are the new way of transacting online with the ability to transfer, purchase, send or receive money digitally without any hassle.

Go cashless is the new mantra that can be used while making any purchases and no need to carry cash to buy products or service either online or at store.

On time payments and incentives

Physical payments like cheques and other banking transactions typically take a day to process any financial transactions and it is not going to work in today’s context. There is a need for a fast and secure payment system that is also good for faster fund processing in real time.
