New report explores how consumers and businesses are using QR codes to streamline commerce and information sharing
The COVID-19 pandemic made 2020 the year when quick response (QR) codes finally gained traction in the United States and Europe. Consumers increasingly expect to be able to earn and redeem rewards seamlessly during checkout, apply coupons and offers, and then pay with a card (or other payment option) on file. QR codes embedded in retailer and payment provider apps can enable access to all this information and a streamlined experience for the consumer.
In a new Impact Report, The Rise of QR Codes: Applications in Payments and Beyond, research and advisory firm Aite-Novarica Group provides an overview of the current QR code landscape, with a focus on payments. Aite-Novarica Group conducted interviews with executives from card schemes, banks, and technology providers in the banking and retail industries.
“Payments are global,” said Ginger Schmeltzer, Strategic Advisor at Aite-Novarica Group and author of the new report. “Commerce is crossing borders and demand has increased during the pandemic. The banking and retail industries must be prepared to support merchants with international payment acceptance capabilities.”
A preview of the report is available online, and desk copies are available to qualified media. Please contact [email protected] or call Kaitlyn Labbe at +1.857.327.9442 for more information.
