Convenience Fuels the Rise of Digital Wallets in North American Online Payments

Dublin, Nov. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "North America Online Payment Methods 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

In a digital age dominated by card-based payment methods, digital wallets are rapidly gaining momentum as the preferred online payment method across North America. According to a recent report, digital wallets, including PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, have secured the fourth position in terms of frequently used online payment methods, with usage occurring at least five times per month. This ranking places digital wallets just behind debit cards, cash, and credit cards, as of September 2022.
