Mobile apps make it possible for consumers to pay all services and goods using a single digital medium. Thousands of bank accounts are connected to these payment portals, increasing purchasing power and has with time, has been perfected so users don’t lose any cash in transit.
Payment gateways are those applications that help with the authorization of online cash transfers across various accounts. Merchants like online retailers, e-businesses, even traditional stores utilize it as a virtual equivalent of their point of sales.
It works by encrypting all numbers and data shared between merchants and customers, with the intention of making it safer for both parties. But how secure are they? Well, that's an ongoing debate in the Global Payment Security Market and most consumers feel that the best is often that one that’s the safest.
The general notion is that some mobile payments might still be unsecured, in terms of loopholes created while setting up all steps in the payment mechanism. One problem or paradox is the use of second-factor authentications or OTPs, - the issue is that the app that requires or reads these OTPs can access the messages in the inbox. If malicious apps are fitted with the same system, then the security of card data saved on the device is compromised.
The device hardware is the next problem and firms might take a while before they cover this area, as they’re keeping sales and bottom lines in mind when building devices. The connection to payment security is this – many payments apps and wallets used don’t make use of the hardware-level security and instead, run on the Android OS. Online payments might not be as secure as you think as the device passwords, even fingerprints can be captured or hacked.
Translated loosely, all of us are being authenticated by the device we use, but we aren’t sure of whether that device will secure our payments or not.
