The healthy growth is supported by very high penetration of smart phones and retailers have also ensured that their websites are mobile enabled.
A huge driver of increased value sales of mobile payments has been the significantly larger threshold for contactless payments. In order to promote card payments during the pandemic, the maximum value for contactless debit card transactions without authentication was raised from CHF40 to CHF80 in 2020 and this has resulted in significantly higher contactless payments through mobile phones.

Players are expected to turn to social media most often when they wish to attract Generation Y and millennials to their brands.
