Top 3 Online Payment Trends in 2024
Here, we highlight the top 3 trends in online payments that we anticipate becoming more prominent:
1. Automated Software for Transactions: In e-commerce, a key trend for 2024 revolves around the growing need for automated software, particularly in payment gateways.
With online sales projected to surge to $6.5 trillion by 2024, the importance of having strong and secure payment gateways cannot be overstated. These gateways do more than just facilitate transactions; they act as a primary defense against fraud, underscoring the need for substantial investment in cutting-edge security measures.
Our API product, One Access by Leatherback, simplifies payment collections and payout processes for businesses. It offers flexibility by allowing you to process cards in various currencies (NGN, USD, EUR, GBP), access open banking and accept bank transfers. View our API documentation here.
2. The Fight Against Cyber Crime: With more people using digital payments, there's a higher chance of cyber threats. In 2024, the financial sector is set to ramp up its defenses. By incorporating advanced technologies such as AI and machine learning, the approach will extend beyond reacting to threats; it will involve proactive anticipation and prevention.
There are several ways that businesses can prevent digital payment fraud, one of which is partnering with financial technology companies that will provide them with the protection they need.
