Readiness to use mobile payments in Japan 2012

This statistic illustrates the score of Japanese consumers on MasterCard's own Mobile Payment Readiness Index (MPRI). The index covers three varieties of mobile payments: person to person (P2P), mobile e-commerce (m-commerce), and mobile payments at the point of sale (POS), and measures the customers' willingness and readiness, as well as their actual implementation of these three payment methods. In 2012, 20 percent of Japanese consumers were familiar with mobile payments at the point of sale and 8 percent were willing to try them.
