Payments via mobile systems such as NFC (near field communications) chips will overtake both cash AND cards by
2020, claims a new report
The pennies in our pockets could soon be
consigned to the history books - along with debit and credit cards.
A poll of technology experts by America's Pew Internet Research centre found that most predicted that mobile-phone payments would have overtaken both cash AND cards by 2020.
Of the 1200 experts polled, 65% thought that cash and cards would be nearly wiped out by 2020.
The poll included Harvard experts as well as engineers from companies such as Google and Microsoft.
The need for either cash or cards will be 'eliminated' by chips
in mobile phones.
In shops, people will 'bump' their phones
against tills to pay - or simply pay online via apps.
Many tech experts also believe that the new systems will be MORE secure.
Google chief economist Hal Varian said, 'Two-factor authentication (secret number + physical device) is better than one-factor
authentication, and smart phones seem to have a
natural role here.'
Microsoft engineer Christian Huitema says, 'We have
already witnessed the transition from cash to debit/credit cards.
The electronic wallet is not much more than a ‘virtual
card,' in which near-field wireless communication replaces the reading
of a magnetic stripe.'

The poll, which included experts from Harvard and Google,
expected that 'near field communication' systems - where users 'bump'
phones against tills to transfer funds, as well as online payments from phones,
would have overtaken cash and cards in eight years time.
Based on a technology known as near-field communication (NFC),
Google Wallet allows users to store payment information in the cloud and pay for
goods at participating retailers by tapping their phone at the
point of purchase
'Overall, a majority supported the scenario that by 2020 most people will
have embraced and fully adopted the use of smart-device swiping for purchases they make,
nearly eliminating the need for cash or credit cards,' says Pew, a respected technology
think tank.
'These experts feel that the explosive growth in the use
of smartphones and other mobile devices, makes these systems
an obvious choice to replace established modes of payment in day-to-day commerce.'
The research found that the change is already happening - particularly in America,
where phones using Google Wallet (a mobile payment system) and NFC payment chips are
more common.
A March 2012 Federal Reserve report found that 21% of mobile phone
owners had used mobile banking services in the past year and that another 11% of mobile owners plan to use such
services in the next 12 months.
The study also found that some 12% of mobile phone owners have
made payments—such as paying bills online or transferring money directly to another
person's account—via their phones.
In the developing world, the figures are even higher - 20% of
Kenya's GDP is sent via text message every year using the country's
M-Pesa system.
In late 2011, Google launched Google Wallet in partnership with Citibank
and MasterCard.
Based on a technology known as near-field communication (NFC), Google Wallet allows users to store
payment information in the cloud and pay for goods at
participating retailers by tapping their phone at the point of
purchase.
Many analysts predict that Apple will announce its own virtual wallet service in the near future.
