New research shows there's an even greater demand for frictionless experiences with payments and even ATMs.
Mobile biometric payments will surpass $1.67 trillion per year by 2023, according to research from biometrics research and consulting firm Goode Intelligence.
The London-based firm also found that 68% of biometric payments happened remotely and 32% occurred in store in 2018. By 2023, it expects that balance to shift, with only 54% of biometric payments happening remotely and 46% occurring in store.
