Mobile Payment Systems to Become More Popular Around the World

According to a research report published by Allied Market Research the mobile Payments market is expected to reach a value of $3,388 billion by 2022, growing at an impressive CAGR of 33.4% from 2016 to 2022. The report indicates that the rapidly increasing use of smartphones, growth in m-commerce industry, change in lifestyle, and the need for quick and easy transactions are crucial factors that drive the mobile payment growth. The Mobile payments through mobile wallets/bank cards are projected to register the growth rate during the forecast period, owing to the increase in incentivization given by the market players for payment done via wallet and card.

A report from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) predicts that mobile payments will overtake credit cards as a preferred way of purchasing. "The uptake of debit and credit cards as well as innovative online and mobile payment methods has grown over time. In 2014, credit and debit cards accounted for more than half of all e-commerce payments in value terms. However, their share is expected to drop to 46 per cent by 2019, as e-wallets and other alternative payment methods (such as mobile money) gain in importance." 

Glance Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: GLNNF) also listed on the Canadian Stock Exchange under the Ticker 'GET'. Just announced breaking news this morning that it intends to create a new cryptocurrency whereby customers can earn cryptocurrency every time they pay with the Glance Pay app.

The Glance cryptocurrency may be used throughout the Glance Pay app and its affiliated applications, as well as outside of the Glance Pay platform. Users of the Glance Pay mobile payment app will earn the new cryptocurrency as rewards every time they spend on the Glance Pay mobile payment network, whether they have paid with the new cryptocurrency or via other payment methods. Glance believes this will support rapid adoption of the cryptocurrency to a broad range of consumers, and it will often be the first cryptocurrency Glance Pay users will have ever received or used.

"We believe that there is an enormous potential for cryptocurrencies to change the payments and rewards landscape," says Glance CTO Angela Griffin, "We are excited to leverage blockchain technology to disrupt the global payments industry with our proven mobile payment and anti-fraud technologies."

Glance is continuing to expand its development team and technical capabilities, which has been accelerated due its recent funding success. Glance currently has over $9.4 million in the bank. Glance Pay has previous added cryptocurrency experts Spiros Margaris (rated #10 blockchain influencer in the world, and #1 fintech influencer), Michael Vogel and Dominic Vogel to its advisory board as well as entering into an alliance with Netcoins Inc.
