It may be on retailers to move the needle when it comes to mobile wallet adoption.
Apple Pay launched in August 2014 but adoption of the mobile wallet and all of its peers that followed — mainly Samsung Pay and Android Pay — has been “underwhelming to date by nearly every objective standard,” Goldman Sachs analysts said in a recent client report.
