I don’t trust verizon… I trust the technology though. NFC is a promising technology. This may be the technology benchmark of the future. But what if our phones got lost and got hacked? Any plans to protect customers? Right now, they have to think of ways to protect consumers from those freak situations. I am using mPowa (www.mpowa.com) now. It’s an mPowa. I don’t need to leave my card home, plus i learned they will be migrating from swipe reader to chip & pin devices. The Chip & Pin device is due to be launched by the end of the year which is totally cool!

Both businesses and consumers are ready for all things mobile, as mobile payments have increased over 280% in the last year with total transactions predicted to reach $62 billion by 2016. With the release of Isis in Austin and Salt Lake City, businesses will soon adapt payment processes and consumers in other regions will soon demand the ability to pay from their mobile phones. Soon, consumers will notice when the option to pay from a mobile phone is absent from their retail experience, causing a new generation of problems for businesses. With over one billion smartphones worldwide, it’s only natural that transforming a phone into a wallet will happen, and businesses that don’t adapt, will lose out on providing superior customer experience, reduce their competitive edge and risk retaining customers.
