Fierce competition between the innovative payment solutions describes the current plot in the payment industry; as we head into 2019, all one can sense is the complete digitization of the payments world. Digital wallets are on the rise due to their simplicity and low cost of adoption, differentiating them from other modes of digital payments. At the same time, contactless credit/debit cards with the benefit of tap-to-pay experience is all set to replace cash in wallets. With digitally empowered consumers continuously shuffling between channels, the line between offline and online experiences will blur.
