Keywords:

Born between 1981 & 1996, the millennial generations has been a major force in changing global industries, most notably effecting the online payments industries by their own interests & behaviors. Having grown up within the digital revolution, millennials have natural technical ability and want quick, secure, and seamless online interactions. This shift in consumer expectations has made businesses and financial institutions quick changes necessary to suit the tastes of a generation that values quickness, openness, and customizing. The tendency of Millennials towards mobile-first solutions has been hastened the general adoptions of mobile payment systems. Simple, quick, safe payment options that match consumers' digital life—Apple Pay, Google Wallet & Samsung Pay—have helped to become well-known. Peer-to----peer (P2P) payment systems like Venmo & PayPal highlight millennials' taste for quick, reasonably priced, socially conscious payment options. These services closely fit millennial values by using the social dynamics of sharing & community and by providing bill splitting & money transfers. Adoption of internet payment methods depends much on security and trust. Millennials show caution when sharing personal and financial data online, which forces companies to stress strict security practices such two-factor authentication, encryption, and tokenizing. This generation depends much on user experience. Payment businesses have to provide straightforward interfaces, flawless transactions, and quick customer service if they want to attract younger customers. The predisposition of the age toward customizing has driven demand for payment systems include loyalty programs, provide tailored recommendations, and allow many payment options. Businesses that fall short of these standards risk losing their relevance in a market controlled by millennials more and more.
