Top–10 Payments Trends for 2025

The ongoing transformation of the payments industry, driven by technological advancements and the need for greater efficiency, security, and sustainability, the year 2023-24 saw varied trends.

From the rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Quantum-Secure Encryption and Biometric Authentication, the year 2023-24 witnessed various technological advancements.

Considering the ongoing evolution of the payments industry, driven by technological advancements and the need for greater efficiency and security, here are the top 10 payments trends for 2025, as highlighted by industry experts:

1. Outsmarting AI–Fraudsters with AI:

Generative AI is being used to combat cybercrime, with companies deploying AI-driven fraud prevention tools to predict and neutralize threats in real time.

Fraudsters are increasingly using AI to create sophisticated scams, such as deepfake videos and personalized phishing messages. However, the same technology is being harnessed to combat these threats.

For instance, Mastercard's Decision Intelligence Pro uses generative AI to analyze 1 trillion data points in less than 50 milliseconds to predict whether a transaction is genuine. This has boosted fraud protection rates significantly. Similarly, AI-powered fraud detection tools are being used to analyze vast amounts of data in real time, helping businesses and individuals stay ahead of fraudsters. 

2. Empowering Small Businesses with Digital Tools:

Centralized platforms are providing small businesses with tools to automate tasks, launch personalized marketing campaigns, and gain actionable insights.

3. Unified Commerce:

Unified commerce, also known as omnichannel commerce, refers to the integration of all retail channels to provide a seamless shopping experience for customers. It ensures that customers have a consistent experience across all channels, whether they are shopping online, in-store, or through a mobile app.

Unified commerce is transforming the retail landscape by merging online and offline channels into a cohesive system that enhances customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

In Unified Commerce, retailers use integrated systems to manage inventory, orders, customer data, and payments in real-time. This integration allows for better inventory management and reduces the risk of stockouts or overstocking. It allows for flexible fulfillment options such as buy online, pick up in-store (BOPIS), ship from store, and curbside pickup, catering to customer preferences and improving convenience.

4. Digital Identity on Demand:

Biometrics and passkeys are replacing traditional passwords, offering enhanced security and convenience.

Digital Identity on Demand refers to the ability to access and verify digital identities in real-time, providing secure and seamless authentication for various services. Using biometrics like fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris scans for identity verification. This method is highly secure and convenient for users.

Digital versions of driver's licenses stored on mobile devices, allowing for quick and secure verification during transactions or identity checks.

Technologies that minimize the collection of personal data while still providing robust identity verification, such as zero-knowledge proofs.

Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are cryptographic methods that allow one party to prove to another party that a statement is true without revealing any additional information about the statement itself. ZKPs are widely used in blockchain technology to enhance privacy and security. For example, zk-SNARKs (zero-knowledge succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge) are used in cryptocurrencies like Zcash to enable private transactions.

ZKPs must satisfy two properties: soundness (if the statement is false, no cheating prover can convince the verifier otherwise) and completeness (if the statement is true, the honest prover can convince the verifier.

These advancements are making digital identity verification more secure, efficient, and user-friendly.

5. Simplifying B2B Payments:

The evolution of B2B payments is accelerating, making transactions smoother and more efficient. The evolution of B2B (Business-to-Business) payments has been remarkable over the past few decades, driven by technological advancements and changing business needs.

Virtual cards are becoming more popular in the B2B sector, offering secure payment options and revenue-generating opportunities.

AI is being used to automate and optimize payment processes, detect fraud, and provide personalized payment experiences. Machine learning algorithms can analyze transaction patterns to improve efficiency and security.

Advanced security measures, such as multi-factor authentication, tokenization, and biometric authentication, are being employed to protect sensitive financial data.

Open banking initiatives and APIs are enabling seamless integration between financial institutions and non-financial businesses, allowing for more flexible and efficient payment solutions.

6. Embedded Finance:

Businesses are embedding financial products directly into their ecosystems, offering seamless financial services.

Embedded finance is a rapidly growing trend where financial services are integrated into non-financial platforms and applications.

For example, a retail app might offer a "Buy Now, Pay Later" option at checkout.

Companies like Stripe and Plaid offer APIs that enable non-financial businesses to integrate banking services into their platforms. This allows users to access financial services seamlessly within the tools and services they already use.

An another example of embedded finance is White-Label Neobanking where businesses launch their own branded financial products without building the infrastructure from scratch. This is often done through partnerships with licensed banks and technology providers.

Embedded finance platforms can facilitate real-time transactions, reducing delays associated with traditional banking. For instance, DailyPay allows workers to access their earned wages instantly through their employer's app.

7. AI-Powered Payments:

AI is transforming fraud prevention, personalized checkout experiences, and customer service in payments.

Mastercard uses AI to analyze billions of historical transactions to identify patterns and detect potential fraud in real-time. This helps in minimizing payment fraud while reducing friction for genuine customers. PayPal has an AI assistant named "PayPal Claude" that handles over 30 million customer requests annually. Mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Wallet use AI to enhance security and personalize user experiences.

Companies like Ripple use AI to facilitate cross-border payments by optimizing transaction routes and reducing processing time.

8. Sustainability:

Sustainability is becoming a key focus, with companies adopting eco-friendly practices in their payment systems. For example, Digital wallets or mobile payments significantly reduced the use of physical credit and debit cards, thereby cutting down on plastic waste.

Services like Paytm, BHIM UPI in India and M-Pesa in Kenya allow users to make payments via their mobile phones, reducing the need for physical banking infrastructure and promoting financial inclusion.

Some companies are producing payment cards made from recycled materials or biodegradable plastics to reduce environmental impact.

9. Cross-Border Payments:

Advances in technology are making cross-border payments faster and more accessible.

Countries like China, Thailand, Hong Kong, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia are collaborating on Project mBridge, which uses distributed ledger technology (DLT) to enable direct interbank transactions in local currencies.

Tokenized ecosystems are becoming more prominent, with initiatives like the Bank for International Settlements' (BIS) Project Agorá exploring how tokenized commercial bank deposits and wholesale CBDCs can coexist on a unified Ledger.

10. Super Apps:

Apps that offer a wide range of services, including payments, are becoming more popular. Think of it as a "Swiss army knife" for apps, combining functionalities like messaging, payments, e-commerce, social networking, and more.

Super apps are gaining popularity because they provide a seamless and integrated user experience, reducing the need for multiple separate apps. Alipay, Wechat and Grab are examples of such Super Apps.

India has seen a rise in super apps, offering a wide range of services within a single platform. Some of the notable examples are Tata Neu, Paytm, PhonePe and Clap Messenger.

Fake Reviews of Health, Wellness Products Deter Over 42% Shoppers from Making Purchases: PwC Report

PwC India has released a report unveiling insights on the evolving dynamics of e-commerce in India, particularly focusing on the shopping behaviour of consumers in tier 2 and tier 3 regions. Titled "How India shops online: Consumer preferences in the metropolises and tier 1-4 cities", the report encapsulates comprehensive research that aims to reshape the trajectory for businesses operating in India's burgeoning digital marketplace.

45% of the respondents look at the ratings and reviews before shopping, said the PwC report. 37% of Urban dwellers accept that fake customer reviews are a key barrier for using other platforms in the electronics category.

The report is based on an online survey of 2,100 people, 100 qualitative interviews, and 400 in-person interviews across India with leading experts and industry partners. The insights derived from the report highlight the similarities and differences in the purchasing habits, choices and mindsets of online shoppers across the country.

Some of the key findings of the report include the following:

• 50% of consumers in metros and tier-1 cities value quick delivery, while for 54% of consumers in tier-2, 3 and 4 cities, deals and offers take precedence.
• With increasing financial independence, women's shopping behaviour shifted from social to individualistic across geographies as per our survey.
• Fake reviews of health and wellness products deter over 42% of tier-2, 3 and 4 cities' shoppers from making purchases in this category. They also prefer buying these products online since there are concerns related to the authenticity of these products in brick-and-mortar stores.
• More than 60% of our respondents preferred to shop using an app rather than using any website. There was a clear preference for marketplace apps since they cater to many categories.
• YouTube emerged as a clear winner when it comes to a reliable platform (discovery. information, usage experience and unboxing videos) for making buying choices.
• Interestingly, Gen Z prefers cash on delivery (CoD) in tier-2, 3 and 4 cities.

This report aims to understand the pulse of India's diverse consumer base and provide insights into their behaviour. 

Beyond the urban landscape, a new trend is rapidly unfolding in India – tier-2, 3, and 4 cities – where aspirations have begun to surge, and shopping habits are undergoing a transformation.

Today, consumers from rest of India are dedicating more time to shopping, with order volumes in tier-2 and 3 cities expanding by more than 0%3 compared to previous years. As India’s e-commerce narrative evolves, it is crucial to observe these behavioural changes.

The report also elucidates the disparities in e-commerce shopping patterns between urban and rural India. A significant shift is observed in the shopping behaviours of consumers from tier 2, 3, and 4 cities, compared to their urban counterparts. While urban dwellers are enticed by perennial discounts and convenience of online shopping, consumers from rest of India regions are driven towards online shopping by factors such as limited product availability and stockouts in local offline stores.

The preference of Apps

Over 60% of surveyed respondents prefer shopping via mobile apps due to ease of navigation, user-friendly interfaces, and vernacular support, highlighting the importance of app-based platforms in India's e-commerce landscape.

Social Media Influence

Social media platforms play a pivotal role in driving product trials, with 62% of users trying products after seeing them on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Urban and rest of India consumers exhibit differing preferences in social media channels for product discovery and trials.

Payments Preferences

Mode of Payment

While both urban dwellers and rest of India consumers display comparable acceptance of UPI payments, cash on delivery remains the preferred option among the latter to minimise fraud risks. Generation X from rest of India regions prefers card transactions for mid-high value purchases, citing transaction safety as a key factor.

Category Preference 

Categories purchased

The report delves into specific category preferences among consumers, highlighting varying trends in fashion, sports and fitness, electronics, home and kitchen, beauty and personal care, health and wellness, and grocery segments. In these categories, urban dwellers prefer online shopping for its quick delivery which meets their demand for instant gratification, even if it means paying a premium. In contrast, Rest of India consumers are more focused on finding the best deals and discounts online.

The report aims to help businesses not only increase market share and revenue but also make a positive difference in the lives of millions of consumers in India. By embracing empathy, businesses can tap into the human side of e-commerce and unlock the potential of a nation on the cusp of greatness.

Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2017, By Gartner

While many of us might still not believe it, but sadly(or should we say gladly) the year 2016 is coming to a close and the year 2017 is just a month and half away from us. This has got the technology world thinking about what the immediate future i.e. the year 2017 holds for the tech world. In order to provide us a little direction, Gartner's Vice President and a Gartner fellow himself David Cearley has come up with top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for the year 2017. Mesh, intelligent and digital-are the three main themes that forms the basis of Cearley's list, which he announced at the recently held Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2016 in Orlando, Florida.

Mesh

In the layman terms, it can be said that mesh basically refers to a dynamic connection of processes, things, people and services that support intelligent digital ecosystems. This means, as mesh as a technology grows, the experience of the user also changes at the fundamental level, and hence, its supporting technology and security platforms and architectures should undergo a change as well.

Trend 1: Conversational Systems

These systems can go from the simple bidirectional, informal text to voice conversations such as a reply to "What day of is today?" to more difficult interactions such as collecting an oral testimony from someone involved in a criminal case. These systems have led to a model shift from people adapting to their computers in the past to the one where the computer hears and adapts to a person. Instead of just using voice/text as interface, these conversational systems allow machine and people to use a number of other modalities such as sound, sight etc. to interact across the digital device mesh such as IoT systems, sensors and appliances etc.

Trend 2: Digital Technology Platforms

It is not a secret anymore that digital technology platforms are so vital for the success of a digital business that they are often described as their building blocks. In fact, nowadays they're considered almost necessary in order to break into the digital world. Ideally, every digital business will have a mix of five digital technology platforms: business ecosystems, Information systems, the Internet of Things, customer experience, and analytics and intelligence. Till the year 2020, new services and platforms for conversational systems, IoT and AI will remain at the centerstage. There is a need for the companies to identify and evaluate how the industry platforms are evolving with time so as to effectively plan for ways to evolve their own digital platforms in order to meet the growing challenges of the digital business world.

Trend 3: Mesh App and Service Architecture (MASA)

The year 2017 would witness important changes being made to the tools, technology and architecture currently being used in the intelligent digital mesh to develop effective solutions. The MASA can be best described as a multichannel solution architecture that make use of cloud and serverless computing, microservices and containers as well as APIs and events so as to deliver dynamic, modular and flexible solutions. These solutions eventually end up supporting multiple users in multiple roles by making use of multiple devices and communicating with over multiple networks. It is important to note that MASA is still a long term architectural shift that needs substantial changes to be made to development tooling and best practices.

Trend 4: Adaptive Security Architecture

With the rapid growth of digital technology platforms, application architectures and intelligent digital mesh, there is an urgent need for security to become more fluid and easily adaptive. As we have discussed several times on IndianWeb2, security in the IoT environment posses a very difficult challenge. There is a need for security teams to work effectively with enterprise, application and solutions architects so as to tackle the important topic of security in the initial phase of the designing of the applications and IoT solutions. The year might see multilayered security and use of user and entity behaviour analytics becoming a necessity for almost every company.

Intelligent

It is safe to say that the year 2016 saw artificial intelligence and machine learning reaching a critical tipping point. From now on, they will increasingly augment and extend virtually every technology enabled application, service, or thing. Further, till the year 2020, creating intelligent systems that will have the potential to learn, adapt and even act autonomously rather than only being able to successfully execute predefined instructions will remain a primary battleground for all technology vendors all around the world.

Trend 5: Intelligent Things

Autonomous vehicles, drones and robots are three main categories into which the new intelligent things can be easily categorised into. The year ahead would witness all these three areas growing to have an impact on a larger segment of the market and extending support to a new phase of the digital business.

While in the above paragraph we talked about new intelligent things, let's also have a look at the existing things like the IoT devices. The year would see them becoming intelligent things as they will be soon be able to deliver the great power of artificial intelligence enabled systems everywhere. This includes medical facility, home, office and factory floor.

As intelligent things grow on the evolution and popularity charts, they will in all likelihood witness a shift from a stand-alone model to a collaborative model one in which intelligent things would be capable of communicating with one another and act in coherence to get tasks done. However, in certain scenarios, issues such as privacy and liability, along with the difficulty of creating highly specialised assistants might slow down embedded intelligence.

Trend 6: AI & Advanced Machine Learning

Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, which currently already includes technologies such as natural-language processing, deep learning, and neural networks, could soon encompass more advanced systems that will be able to learn, understand, predict, adapt and potentially even function autonomously. Systems could learn and change future behaviour, and end up creating more intelligent devices and programs. This new era has been unleashed by a combination of advanced algorithms, extensive parallel processing power, and massive data sets to feed the algorithms.

The banking sector could see AI and machine-learning techniques being used to model current real-time transactions, as well as predictive models of transactions based in the likelihood of them being fraudulent. Organisations which are looking to drive digital innovation with this particular trend will have to evaluate different business scenarios in which AI and machine learning will be successfully able to drive in clear and specific business value.

Trend 7: Intelligent Apps

Intelligent apps, which also include technologies such as virtual personal assistants, maybe soon be able to completely transform the workplace by making its users more effective and everyday tasks much easier than before. However, these new intelligent apps are no longer limited to just new digital assistants. The future could see almost every existing software category right from enterprise apps to security tooling getting infused with artificial intelligence enabled capabilities.

According to Gartner, technology providers will be making use of Artificial Intelligence to focus on three main areas — AI-powered and increasingly autonomous business processes, advanced analytics, and AI-powered conversational, continuous and immersive interfaces.

Gartner hopes that by the year 2018,
most of the world’s largest 200 companies will be able to effectively make use of intelligent apps and fully utilise the toolkit of big data and analytics tools so as to improve their customer experience and refine their offers.

Digital

The lines between the physical and digital world is getting thinner by the day and giving birth to a number of new opportunities for digital businesses.

Trend 8: Digital Twin

According to Gartner, in a time of another 3-5 years, the world would see about a billions of things being represented by digital twins, which is a dynamic software model of a physical system or thing. By making use of physics data on how the components of a thing are operating and responding to the environment as well as the sensors provided data in the physical world, a digital twin can be be put to evaluate and simulate real world conditions, add value, improve operations and add responds to changes. These digital twins work as proxies for the combination of traditional monitoring devices and controls and skilled individuals. In order for them to proliferate, there is a dire need for a cultural change, as those who truly understand the need of real-world things only join hands with IT professionals and data scientists.

Trend 9: Blockchain

A blockchain is basically an anonymous online ledger that makes use of a data structure to make the process of transaction an easier and simpler process. It provides users the ability to manipulate the ledger in a safe way without seeking the support of a third party.

While a bank's ledger has connections to a centralised network, a blockchain is anonymous as it helps in protecting the identities of the users. This is what makes the technology of blockchain a safer way to carry out transactions than any other existing processes.

While a number of blockchain initiatives have been launched this year, a majority of them are in their alpha or beta stages, which means the technology has significant challenges to face in the future.

Trend 10: Virtual reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)

In an interview earlier in the year, Tim Cook had said, "There's virtual reality and there's augmented reality - both of these are incredibly interesting. But my own view is that augmented reality is the larger of the two, probably by far."

VR and AR have greatly transformed the way in which individuals interact with each other and with software systems by creating an environment which is almost completely immersive. VR can be employed during remote experiences and training scenarios. AR, on the other hand, has great potential in the business world as it can be used to overlay graphics onto realworld objects. In the future, we could see VR and AR growing beyond this visual immersion so as to include all the other human senses as well.
