Mobile Payments – Every Second Counts

 

Attention span is at an all-time low, with the modern day consumer having an average attention span of 8 seconds. That is potentially 8 seconds to grab the consumer’s attention, persuade them to commit to purchase and complete the transaction. Every second longer increases the chance of purchase abandonment.
