Payment Trends of 2018 With digitization in the world of payments progressing by leaps and bounds, the following developments are expected to make waves in 2018. Internet of Payments The number of devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) is set to increase from 6.4 billion in 2016 to 20.8 billion in 2020.

For example, customers with connected fridges can expect to see depleted items restocked and automatically paid for. Visa is also working with Honda to develop technology that can detect when a car’s petrol is low and enables users to pay for a refill using an app that is connected to the in-car display.  Context-Based Payments Anyone heading to the checkout, whether with a real or virtual shopping basket, often takes a moment to decide whether their purchase is really worth it.
