Blockchain may revolutionize payment processing through enhanced transparency, reduced fraud, and lower transaction costs by enabling decentralized currency exchanges.
AI technologies are helping to risk assess transactions, offering personalized payment recommendations, and enhancing customer support through chatbots.
Mobile wallets are gaining traction, providing consumers with a convenient, centralized method for managing their various payment methods, loyalty cards, and coupon offers in one place.
