Just 8% of consumers have used mobile payments: report

When mobile industry body MEF made its predictions for 2012 it suggested that there would be some spectacular trials using NFC, but that mobile payments would fail to have a significant commercial impact.

And as the months passed the prediction seemed to be coming true – Visa was planning to use the Olympics as a showcase for NFC mobile payments, Starbucks upgraded its app to allow users to pay with it at the till, and PayPal launched a number of mobile payment trials with US and UK retailers.

Yet in spite of these newsworthy trials, a new survey from eDigitalResearch seems to confirm that consumers still haven’t got on board with mobile payments.
