\n\u2022 89% expected more of their customers to use mobile payments in the future;
\n\u2022 84% said customers increasingly want to use their smart phones to pay for services.<\/p>\n

Yet, while small businesses want to accept mobile payments, they are concerned about the current mobile payment infrastructure.<\/strong><\/p>\n
