As consumers, we are always looking for more efficient and effective ways to manage our spending, streamline the purchasing process, and keep our financial information safe. On the other hand, as business leaders, sellers, and service providers, we are always looking for ways to make payments easier for our customers, inspire trust and loyalty, and make buying a painless process for all.

The good thing is that payment technology is constantly evolving with the help of artificial intelligence, new technologies like the blockchain, and the demand for more streamlined and secure payment processes in every industry.

Let’s take a look at some exciting digital payment trends you should know about in 2022 and how they are revolutionizing the modern way of life.

App market growth in the smart payment sector

We live in an app-first world, and that extends to the financial sector. The app development industry is on the rise globally, with current projections expecting the application development sector to reach US$153.50 billion in 2022.

In the finance and payments sectors, app development is surging due to the increasing need of business leaders, online vendors and marketplaces, and financial institutions to provide a more streamlined experience to their customers. The majority of mobile phone applications being developed right now in the financial sector aim to simplify payment processes (and processing) while enhancing security and lowering transaction fees.

App development in the payment sector is focused on multi-faceted solutions, so let’s talk about the concrete ways developers are currently innovating in this booming industry.

Invoicing is smarter and safer on the blockchain

The blockchain is revolutionizing the web, and you probably know by now that the blockchain is the most secure payment, invoicing, and transactional platform in the world. Given the fact that it’s a distributed public ledger that’s unregulated by government bodies and that all users are anonymous, the blockchain is the perfect platform to ensure payment security and efficiency.

On the other hand, the fact that it’s not regulated in any way by banking institutions means that blockchain transactions have the lowest fees with the highest transaction speeds. But what’s most interesting about using blockchain technology for payments is that it streamlines invoicing.

One of the best ways for companies to avoid longer payment terms on their invoices is through blockchain’s smart contracts and invoices, but also by leveraging the fact that all blockchain transactions are final. Once the invoice is paid, there is no way to reverse the transaction, effectively protecting your cash flow.

The benefits of blockchain technology far exceed financial perks and payment security, but for now, let’s move on to other interesting payment solutions.

Shortening the checkout process

Modern businesses selling SaaS or physical products in the online world need to streamline the checkout process as much as possible to minimize cart abandonment and maximize conversions. One of the key reasons why customers fail to complete a purchase is because it takes too long or because the process is too complicated.

On the consumer side, innovative solutions such as a personal checkout assistant make it easy to avoid all the extra steps and get right to order completion without wasting time or money, but you too need to do your part to shorten this process on your end. Automation is the key here, and it’s important to automate as much as you can.

For example, automatically calculating shipping times and fees, converting currencies on your site, and using mPOS (mobile point of sale) systems can go a long way in enhancing the checkout experience as a whole. Employing secure, AI-driven payment gateways is also instrumental in boosting transaction security and building brand loyalty and trust.

Sending money globally is becoming cheaper and smarter

Digital innovation, payment security, and the advent of money transfer services have made the process of sending and receiving money more efficient and affordable than ever before. Now that online banking has become commonplace and that the competition in this sector has become fierce, users can enjoy lower transaction fees and faster transaction times on a global scale.

What’s interesting about money transfer companies is that many are introducing artificial intelligence as well as digital fingerprinting to assess risk, analyze their users, and personalize their offering. Of course, one of the main reasons for using these technologies is to maximize revenue through actionable data and analytics.

Leveraging AI tools and fingerprinting technologies allows payment providers to enhance cybersecurity and data privacy on their platforms as well, which we’ll cover in a moment. But before we do, let’s talk about smart voice payments.

Using smart speakers for purchases and payments

Smart speakers, voice assistants, smart home hubs. These technologies allow us to find products and services using our voice, but nowadays they also allow us to place orders and make payments.

Voice payments are on the rise around the world, as AI assistants can be connected to digital payment gateways, banks, as well as digital wallet platforms like Google Pay. Using just your voice, you can tell your AI assistant to place an order for you and authorize it to make a payment or even send money locally or abroad.

This kind of payment innovation is a natural step in the process of syncing users and their financial data with digital payment providers to make buying and selling a breeze. Given the fact that voice search is on the rise and that millions of people around the world are using their AI assistants to find products and brands, it’s only natural that they should use their assistants to complete a purchase, as well.

Utilizing machine learning and AI to improve end-to-end security

Finally, it’s important to note that machine learning and AI-driven security systems are making digital payments safer for merchants, banking institutions, and of course, customers. The online customer will always choose to buy a product, pay for a service, or use a financial transaction platform with a high-grade security system.

The only way for companies to keep up with the evolving demands and security threats in the financial sector is to employ machine learning systems. Machine learning systems can analyze vast amounts of transactional and behavioral data to make accurate security predictions, spot malicious online activity, and employ preventive security measures.

With machine learning and AI-driven security, payment providers and banks can create a safer environment for all by safeguarding sensitive customer data, preventing data breaches and boosting encryption for all online transactions.

Over to you

Smart payment solutions are instrumental in operational efficiency for any business, but they bring many other benefits to the table. For the consumer, these solutions are becoming a necessity in a world where privacy, security, and transactional efficiency are becoming burning questions.

Driven by artificial intelligence and innovative technologies, smart payment systems are making it easier for brands to sell while making it easier for digital customers to make a purchase safely and efficiently. Consider introducing some of these solutions to your business in 2022 to keep developing your competitive advantage and capitalize on the latest trends.
