Is there a source for this claim? From my experience, it is an argument for merchants to use SMS payment instead of credit cards, as there is much less chargebacks and errors. Disregarding the 20% claim, the idea seems fine, but, as Alex said, customers are not very happy about yet another relationship with a financial services provider. 20% of all transactions fail?
