Invention of computer in 1960’s and later, introduction of world wide web (www) in 1989
led to revolutionary changes in electronic payment system. As electronic payment systems
evolved, payment process was minimized to just a few simple steps, which can be done at
remote locations away from the bank.
Cash is the de-facto mode of payment across the globe. More than 95% of the transactions in
India are still cash-based. Other modes of payment, specially digital payments, have grown
steadily for the past many years. While Credit and Debit cards are the most popular cashless
modes of payment introduced more than 3 decades ago in India, the adoption is still slow and
steady. There are challenges in adoption due to lack of infrastructure, connectivity and POS
machines. The penetration is low amongst small ticket merchants as well as tier-2,tier-3
cities since banks lack the will to promote POS adoption for small businesses.
With each passing year, a lot of new solutions are added to the e-payment process, which is
stimulating e-commerce growth. Since the first decade of 21st century, global giants like
amazon pay and Payu are in the field. In 2010,Indian entrepreneurs developed Paytm, which
has evolved into various fields of cashless transaction. Though Google Pay came into the
field later, their operations are increasing at breath taking speed. Google had the advantage
of being the largest net browser company and they are a household name all over the world.
Demonetization disrupted the cash economy for a while with a rise in digital payments.
Digital payments growth has been accelerated by 6 years due to demonetization . Since then
, the cash is back , but mobile payments are being used twice as much . Currently, less
than 5 percentage of the transactions are cashless and there has been a strong push by the
government for digital payment by promoting mobile-based payment methods like USSD as
well as Adhar based payments like AEPS and mobile ATMs. There are plenty of cashless
payment options that have grown in last 3 years – like UPI, Net banking , Open banking apps,
USSD , AEPS etc. The driving force in the evolution of the payment system has been the need
to give users the ease of doing it as it directly affects the purchase pattern of a customer.
Demonetization gave big momentum to the growth of e-payment systems in India. But even
now only small percentage of consumers have cashless transactions. E-payment systems are
generally simple to operate, efficient and at the same time secure also.
Traditionally, purchase of goods involved transfer of physical cash from the buyer to the
retailer. With the introduction of debit/credit cards, cashless transactions could be done
electronically, at least in many of the supermarkets and shops. But for smaller vendors like
vegetable sellers and for those who do door to door sale of fish, there were logistical issues.
With the evolution of e-payment portals like Google Pay, amazon pay, Paytm cash
transactions could be done with smart phones, by the click of a button and thus the
transactions are simple, cashless and are available for local vendors at the Point Of Sale
(POS).

(Chatargee, 2010) entitled "An investigation of Market Share and factor influencing the
decision of cell specialist co-op among youthful age gathering of Kolkata" recognized the
most significant and least significant component influencing decision of specialist
organization working in Kolkata The outcome uncovered that the variables like great
organization inclusion and family or companions using a similar organization are of most
extreme significance to the clients while the proposal of free association with the handset
being the least significant one.
(Paulrajan and Rajkumar, 2011)Did a study under title “Administration Quality and
Customers Preference of Cellular Mobile Service Providers” uncovered that, purchase
recognition is broadly fluctuated as per the correspondence quality, call administration,
Offices, value, client, care and specialist co- op’s trait.
(Chaudhari and Ambekar, 2013) Did a study with the title “ Client preferences towards
different mobile services provides” demonstrated that in India, various cell organization are
contending to offer effective and quality types of assistance to their clients. The study
concludes that customers lean towards a specific cellphone specialist
Co-op based available to come into works levies, network inclusion, esteem include
administration and the purchasers exceptionally impacted by there relatives.
(Dr Pallavi.P & Meenal.A, 2018) studied the frequently used electronic payment
system by the e-commerce users of Indore Division.It was found from the study that
Debit card is the most frequently used e-payment system amongst the e-commerce
users.Net banking is second most frequently used type of electronic payment
system.E-cash/E-wallet like Paytm etc is third type of e-payment system which is
used amongst the e-commerce users of e-payment system.Lastly,Credit card is the
least used type of e-payment system amongst the e-commerce users. The study
addresses the primary concerns of the e- commerce users of different types of
electronic payment system and targeting the broader segment of potential customers
to use the different types of electronic payment system.
(Khan et al, 2017) examined that a better integration of online payment systems with
the present financial and telecommunication infrastructure was needed for a
prosperous future of this payment mode. They also found that future work may be
directed towards the legislation of various factors responsible for contributing in the
effective adoption of online payment systems all over the world.
(Javed Anwar, 2017) direct comparison between Google Tez and Pay tm is not easy
because both of them work differently. Google Tez connects to your bank accout using
Indian government Unified Payment Interface(UPI),which is an interface that allows
money to be moved from almost any bank account in India to any other account
immediately and in real-time. When the user installs Paytm,he or she also has to create
a Paytm account. This account then becomes an e-wallet where certain amount of
money(the monthly limit for regular users is Rs 20,000)can be kept.This e-wallet,
once the money is gone, has to be recharged using a debit card, credit or through
(Sanchita Dash, 2020) Google Pay has taken a comfortable lead in India’s payments
market over rivals like PhonePe, Amazon Pay,and a one-time market
leader,Paytm.However, for Google,the up and coming Whatsapp Pay may prove to be
the real challenge.Google Pay had 75 million transacting users in May 2020,while
PhonePe had 60 million users and Paytm had 30 million.
Over the last decade,many online business companies,banks,start ups and even net
browser company like Google have come up with apps for digital transactions.Most of
these transactions are free of cost.
For online business giant like Amazon,payment system made the process of purchase and
transfer of cash made very easy.For internet search engine company Google,it is a means
of maintaining their brand name.Since the brand Google is a popular household
name,customer base is increasing in geometric progression.
Last decade has also seen the introduction and increasing popularity of mobile payment
systems like Paytm,Phonepe in India.Now almost any transactions like cash payment on
purchase,bill payment,transfer of cash or paying for your train or cinema tickets can be
made through digital system.
Competition in this field is fierce and cut throat and the Indian start up companies will
find it difficult to survive and to make profit.Hopefully,this study will throw some light
on the usage of e-payment systems in Kerala and also will find out the customer
satisfaction with the usage of cashless payment systems.
Consequently, the digitized payment habits of Indian consumers and retail providers
have led to an influx of diverse payment solution within the country. Digital payment
solutions are a reliable alternative to traditional cash and cheque payments and are
becoming a new countrywide norm. Astronomic adoption of digital payment solutions
and gateways has led experts to theorize that the country will spend $1 trillion in mobile
by the year 2023.
As its part of the Google ecosystem,they have scaled up their use base quickly,despite
being a late entrant.It is currently the No.1 digital wallet and one of the top online
payments apps in India.With Google Pay we can send money to friends,pay bills and buy
online,recharge your phone-all via UPI and directly from bank account.Since Google Pay
works with existing bank account ,which means money is safe with the bank.There’s no
need to worry about reloading wallets and we don’t need to do additional KYC-which is
required for all the other apps.We can also earn scratch cards and other rewards,with the
cashback directly being transferred into the bank account. Now we can also recharge
mobile or monthly utility bills.Since the introduction of UPI,wallets have become very
popular with users preferring account to account transfer via UPI.
Next in the list of top online payment apps in India is PhonePe.PhonePe started in 2015
and in just 4 years it has been able to cross the 100 million download mark.From UPI
payments to recharges,money transfers to online bill payments,we can do it all on
PhonePe.Its got a very good user interface and is one of the safest and fastest online
payment experience in India.
BHIM Axis Pay is a UPI banking app that lets transfer of money instantly to anyone
using just a smartphone.It can also make online recharges to a prepaid mobile and DTH
set-top boxes directly from the app.
5.PayTM
PayTM is one of the largest mobile commerce platforms and one of the top online
payments apps in India, offering its customers a digital wallet to store money and make
quick payments. Launched in 2010,this e-wallet app works on a semi-closed model
and has a mobile market,where a customer can load money and make payments to
merchants who have operational tie-ups with the company.It was originally the No.1
digital wallet in India before UPI being introduced.Apart from making e-commerce
transactions,this e- wallet app can also be used to make bill payments,transfer money and
avail services from merchants from travel,entertainment and retail industry.They also
have UPI enabled payments.
6.My Jio

acceptance simple by offering merchants a single interface for all UPI apps.
9.PAYPAL
Since 1998, PayPal has been giving consumers alternative ways to make purchases and
send and receive money online. PayPal lest you pay for things online with a bank account
instead of a credit card and keeps your payment information hidden from merchants.it also
makes sending money easy and, in most cases free. PayPal has essentially made check and
costly wiere transfer services obsolete.
10.Amazon Pay
Amazon Pay is an online payments processing service that is owned by Amazon.It is also
a top online payment app in India and the global market.Launched in 2007 globally and
in India in 2017,Amazon Pay uses the consumer base of Amazon and focuses on giving

Understanding how users perceive current mobile payments and what drives their
satisfaction and dissatisfaction is important for mobile payment
providers ,merchants and consumers
Knowing what drives users to satisfaction can help mobile payment providers to
develop more successful future applications and improve existing solutions
Study should be done on larger population representing different age groups and
also people from different socioeconomic categories .
As the technologies are evolving at a rapid rate, studies should be done at regular
intervals to check the changes in customer satisfaction with changing times.
Money transactions are essential part of every person`s day to day life .
Government should encourage more local payment portals to start as start up with
new technology and give financial assistance to deserving candidates to thrive and
flourish.
Thus study on customer satisfaction of mobile payment users showed some interesting
findings. As the respondents were mostly in the late teens , 20’s or 30’s they are mostly
technology driven . Around 80% of the study population had a positive view on various
parameters of customer satisfaction .Sources of dissatisfaction are mostly because feeling
of complexity in the system and also because of a feeling that the system is inefficient
As time goes by new technologies will be added and the mobile payment system is bound
to improve As far as the government and central banks are concerned, with the new
technology, there is less requirement for printing of currency and also less currency in the
circulation . As the transactions are easy, secure and speed of money transfer is rapid
whether it is paying a bill, transferring money from one account to another or online
shopping, more and more people will use the technology for money transfers.
At present people in different walks of life whether rich or poor , young or old are using
smart phones, online payment system has come to stay and is bound to improve the
quality of life of future generations
