According to Transparency Market Research, the market for mobile payment technologies is expected to increase at a CAGR of 20.5% through 2024, something that would see it rise above the credit and debit cards market by 2020.

Further, According to BI Intelligence, by 2020 there will be $503bn in in-store mobile payments, representing an 80% CAGR between 2015-20, something that GlancePay has been both driving and benefitting from.

In addition, GlancePay is planning to keep in touch with growing trends by incorporating cryptocurrency channels into the app to allow an even greater range of payment options.
