Mobile payment , also referred to as mobile money , mobile money transfer and mobile wallet , is any of various payment processing services operated under financial regulations and performed from or via a mobile device. Instead of paying with cash , cheque , or credit card , a consumer can use a payment app on a mobile device to pay for a wide range of services and digital or hard goods. Although the concept of using non-coin-based currency systems has a long history, it is only in the 21st century that the technology to support such systems has become widely available.
