Marketing Week The risks and rewards of Tesco pushing its own mobile payment app However, with new research from Mintel revealing that less than one in eight (12%) of British smartphone users have signed up to a digital wallet service – with only 7% of those actively using the service – the success of mobile-based contactless transactions has come under scrutiny.
