Different payment methods were introduced to provide customers with options as to how they want to conduct their payment transactions depending on the method they are more comfortable with. These methods were created to increase customer satisfaction thus generating greater possibility in increasing sales. One of the many great methods introduced is mobile payments acceptance. This allows paying for acquired goods and services via wireless network. It can either be done in proximity or remotely. The first is performed at the merchant point-of-sale terminal where the mobile device is brought closer for detection so transaction can be made. This terminal can detect the device and process the information acquired to conduct the payment. The latter based on its term, remote payment, is done without the need for personal meet-up. It is usually done via SMS or wireless application protocol. This is perfect for online business and other businesses where merchants and consumer connect remotely.
