22 per cent of UK smartphone owners have attempted to make purchases on their devices, according to research from Judo Payments.
By comparison, a recent study by Harris Interactive found that in the US, over 60 per cent of smartphone users have to buy something on mobile.
According to Judo, 1.7m – around a quarter of those who have made mobile purchases in the UK – have had their transactions fail, and around 1.3m people on multiple occasions.
When faced with an unsuccessful transaction, 11 per cent of respondents decided to postpone their purchase and a further nine per cent decided against buying completely.
