Biometric mobile payments are an increasingly popular option in Australia.A Deloitte survey has found the use of mobile payment solutions has grown 14 per cent over the past year, with over a quarter of respondents now using them.Mobile payment solutions include biometric apps such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Android Pay, which allow users to process payments for online or in-store purchases using the app, without having to punch in their credit card details every time.According to the The Media Consumer Survey 2017, the use of fingerprint authentication on smartphones has surged 35 per cent in the last year, with fingerprint recognition available on all leading smartphones on the market, including the iPhone 8, Samsung Galaxy S6, and Google Pixel 2.Despite the strong public uptake, ANZ remains the only of Australia's “big four” banks to partner with all three major mobile payment apps, allowing customers with these apps to process payments using its card online or by tapping their phone to an eftpos machine in the same way they would use PayPass.
