An Inmar Solutions trend catcher has depicted an astounding 2.9 <em>billion<\/em> digital coupon redemption volume. Additionally, approximately 77 percent of shoppers purchased groceries from non-grocer vendors in 2013.

If you could make a purchase with one quick tap to the phone, wouldn&#8217;t you? The following cons also exist within the evolving technology, and it may hold mobile wallets back from their full potential:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Consolidation of existing technology may cause bugs<\/li>\n<li>Security risks from hacking<\/li>\n<li>Access to high-limit purchases may be imbalanced against credit cards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The infamous cellphone <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2013\/10\/24\/world\/europe\/uk-phone-hacking-scandal-fast-facts\/index.html\">hack scandal in the UK<\/a> definitely plays upon the above worries.
