Striving to the frictionless payment experience, whereby the consumer to penchant exchange of value requires minimal inputs to confirm identity and enable payment remains a central driver in fintech investment. In the article’s featured report, the use of unique identifiers is recognized as being a clear leader in payment authorization.

The research firm highlights the use of biometric authentication in both Apple Pay and Samsung Pay and the proliferation of fingerprint readers in smartphones as making the biggest difference to ‘payment completion’ today. Juniper argues that use cases and deployments will proliferate in the short and medium term.
