Based on data from the Federal Reserve, over 83% of credit and debit card transactions in the United States are card present, with cardholders paying merchants in real life settings. Additionally, mobile payment acceptance is one of the fastest growing areas in payments. Research firm 451 Research reports that over 13 million mobile point of sale systems are in use globally today, a number that will quadruple to more than 59 million devices by 2019.
The US is in the midst of migrating to EMV chip card technology, with a liability shift that occurred on October 1, 2015 that encourages merchants to adopt EMV technology when accepting card present payments.
