Market Report I 2025-04-28 I 101 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
The United States Payments Market is expected to register a CAGR of 23.5% during the forecast period.
Key Highlights
- The US payment system connects different financial institutions, households, and businesses. Most payments in the United States rely on interbank payment services such as the ACH network and wire transfer systems to transfer money from one bank's sender's account to another bank's recipient's account. Therefore, interbank payment services are essential to the functioning and stability of the financial system and the economy in general.
- Recent improvements to the United States payment system have focused on making payments faster, cheaper, more convenient, and more accessible. "Instant" payments are a particularly active private and public innovation area. The Federal Reserve is also scheduled to launch in 2023, building a new interbank payment service, FedNow Service, for instant payments. These instant payment services will allow commercial banks to provide households and businesses with 24/7 payment services, giving recipients quick access to the funds transferred.
- The United States e-commerce market is noteworthy for its high level of adoption, with 78% of US citizens already shopping online. The dominance of domestic online giants such as Amazon, eBay, and Apple are the country's three significant merchants. Amazon alone accounts for nearly 50% of all e-commerce sales in the United States. Further, other major domestic retail brands are investing heavily in digital products.
- Moreover, existing payment systems are generally effective and efficient but have specific challenges. In particular, quite a few Americans currently do not have access to digital banking and payment services. In addition, some payments-especially cross-border payments, will continue to remain slow and costly.
- Due to the outbreak of coronavirus, the country witnessed a lockdown that compelled people to switch to online shopping and online payments. This has significantly boosted the growth of the United States Payments market.

The new capability intends to empower millions of merchants across the US, from small businesses to large retailers, to use their iPhone seamlessly and securely to accept Apple Pay, contactless credit and debit cards, and other digital wallet payments through a simple tap to their iPhone with no additional hardware or payment terminal.
- In addition, Taco Bell, Target, HyVee Midwestern Supermarket, Speedway Convenience Store, and Jack in the Box have all started supporting Apple Pay, a contactless payment system that's easy and secure to use on the Apple Watch and iPhone. With the addition of these major retailers, 74 of the top 100 retailers in the United States will have 65% of all retailers in the United States supporting Apple Pay.
High proliferation of smartphones and e-commerce driving the market
- The smartphone industry's growth can be attributed to the increasing popularity of several operating systems, namely Android and iOS.
