Close to 60 million Americans used mobile payments on a consistent basis, representing close to 18 percent of the population. However, around 52 percent of Americans are aware of mobile payments and how to use them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 15.0pt; background: white; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #231f20;\">Because of both the wide awareness and accessibility of mobile payments, analysts expect consistent mobile payment use to double this year. Millennials and high-income spenders tended to adopt the technology more quickly, at 23 percent and 38 percent consistent usage respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 15.0pt; background: white; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #231f20;\">Even more intriguing than the wide-spread use of mobile payments is how large the market grew. In 2015, $8.71 billion passed through online payment services providers. Even more intriguing is the prediction that this market will more than triple to $27.05 billion by the end of this year. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2015 was a major period of growth for the online and mobile payment industry.
