The U.S. digital payments landscape is undergoing significant transformation, propelled by the growth of mobile wallets, Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) options, and increasing cryptocurrency ownership. The report reveals that while nearly 70% of online adults have used digital payments recently, small business adoption of digital wallets lags behind, with less than 60% acceptance. Credit cards remain dominant, but alternative methods like account-to-account (A2A) transfers and real-time payments are gaining ground, indicating a shift in consumer payment preferences. As digital transactions evolve, insights into e-commerce trends and digital payment market dynamics are increasingly crucial.
