Square to close $200m funding round

Square is on the verge of closing a $200 million funding round that would value the dongle and app-based mobile card reader startup at $3.25 billion, according to the New York Times.
The round will be led by Suhail Rizvi from private equity firm Rizvi Traverse Management, which has previously invested in Square chief Jack Dorsey's other company, Twitter, says the Times, citing sources.
The new money suggests that Square has doubled its value since raising $100 million in a round valuing it at around $1.6 billion a year ago but the firm had been seeking investment at the $4 billion mark, says the Times.

mopay Extends its Mobile Payments Portfolio in the Middle East & North African Region

Fifteen largest MENA markets now connected to the mopay platform
MUNICH & PALO ALTO, Calif.--()--mopay, a global leader in innovative payment solutions for online merchants, today announced the successful completion of its large-scale network extension initiative in the Middle East & North African (MENA) region. Covering an unrivaled 15 countries in the Middle East and North Africa, mopay further strengthens its footprint in these thriving regions. The company’s approach is backed by superior online growth numbers, the absence of alternative payment methods and a lack of customer confidence in conventional payment methods. mopay’s MENA coverage includes Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
“Although North America, Europe and Asia are the most developed markets in mobile payments, being a global leader for us means closely monitoring every single region and thus identifying market indicators at a very early stage”
The Middle East and North African regions have experienced rapid growth in Internet usage with steady annual growth rates of more than 30 percent over the last three years. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar are the leading MENA countries in terms of online users and online penetration. In June of this year, Facebook’s global online growth numbers revealed that Turkey ranked amongst the 10th largest countries on the platform. In the same month, Egypt climbed to number six among the fastest-growing Facebook countries.
A big part of the region’s online growth is driven through mobile platforms. More than 60 percent of all mobile phones in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are smartphones – a percentage exceeding even the U.S., where only 44 percent of mobile phones are smartphones. According to Google’s annual Mobile Planet smartphone study, the majority of smartphone owners in MENA are more willing to shop via mobile than their PCs. Eighty percent of Egyptian smartphone owners shop mobile at least once a month, compared to 65 percent in the U.S. and 56 percent in the U.K. These findings indicate that the surging smartphone penetration in all MENA countries will significantly impact overall online commerce in the coming years.
For mopay, these numbers also indicate a strong demand for a fast, convenient and secure payment method at the intersection of online and mobile commerce. Mobile phones, not only smartphones, are the next best thing to cash when it comes to paying in MENA. Average mobile penetration is above 100 percent and never falls below 60 percent even in less developed countries. What is more, mopay complements MENA’s high smartphone penetration and mobile commerce percentage with the ability to bill consumers right on their mobile devices they use for shopping. With other online payment methods like credit cards seeing considerable lack of confidence among consumers, mopay readily fills that void making a globally proven payment alternative to credit cards or bank transfers now available in 15 MENA countries.
“Although North America, Europe and Asia are the most developed markets in mobile payments, being a global leader for us means closely monitoring every single region and thus identifying market indicators at a very early stage”, said Kolja Reiss, managing director at mopay. “As was the case in South America two years ago, MENA today represents a highly fertile online market environment with above-par mobile penetration. Combined with the lack of an established and trusted payment method, we see a unique opportunity to provide both local and foreign online merchants with a broadly available, easy-to-use and safe way of paying online for their MENA-based consumers.”
About mopay:
mopay is a global leader in innovative payment solutions for online merchants. mopay’s core platform enables merchants of virtual, digital and physical goods to bill charges directly to consumers’ cell phone and land line accounts. mopay operates in more than 80 countries across the globe, reaching more than 4.3 billion consumers. The company has a blue-chip customer base including major brands such as Bigpoint, Gameforge, Innogames, Sulake and Travian. mopay, part of the MindMatics group, has more than 100 employees at locations in the United States, Germany, Austria, the United Kingdom, China, Brazil, and Romania.

Photo Release -- Innovative Identive Payment Tag for Mobile Phones Used at London 2012 Olympics

Unique tomPAY(TM) NFC Tag Enables Mobile Contactless Payment for 100,000 Visitors at London Olympic Hospitality Events

LONDON, July 25, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Identive Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:INVE) (Frankfurt:INV), a provider of products and services for the identification, security and RFID industries, today announced that its innovative tomPAY™ NFC tag technology is being deployed and used for a payment application at large hospitality events at the Olympics.

A photo accompanying this release is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=13788

tomPAY™ features a unique remove and stick form factor that allows it to be manufactured using standard ISO PVC card manufacturing process. tomPAY™ can be used as conventional contactless cashless payment card or the NFC Tag portion can be peeled off and affixed to a mobile phone. When placed on a mobile device, tomPAY™ enables contactless mobile payments and also can be used for loyalty or other applications. tomPAY™ can be adapted to support EMV-compliant (SDA/DDA) chips, opening new opportunities for card makers and issuers to provide their customers with an EMV-enabled tap-and-go experience.

"We are excited that our new tomPAY™ product is used at a major event like the London Olympics shortly after its launch a few weeks ago. We are gratified that tomPAY™ has been accepted and is expected to be used by up to 100,000 visitors for mobile payment at hospitality events in London," said Dr. Manfred Mueller, COO of Identification Products for Identive. "This is a great occasion to showcase our innovative NFC tags and our proprietary patented and patent pending technology in a challenging environment with a large number of users and daily transactions."

Identive developed its patented tom™ technology ("tag on metal") to overcome the issues inherent to RFID performance when in contact with metal surfaces. The performance of conventional RFID tags is adversely affected by exposure to interference generated from metals, such as the components of mobile phones. 

About Identive
Identive Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:INVE) (Frankfurt:INV) is focused on building the world's signature company in Secure ID. The company's products, software, systems and services address the markets for identity management, physical and logical access control, cashless payment, NFC solutions and a host of RFID-enabled applications for customers in the government, enterprise, consumer, education and healthcare sectors.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 24, 2012) - Zappli, Inc. (www.zappli.com) today announced the launch of InstaBuy.co (www.instabuy.co), an instant online checkout solution for mobile shopping applications. InstaBuy enables consumers to create a universal account and buy from dozens of retailers in 2 clicks and a few seconds. It eliminates the need for mobile shoppers to fill out lengthy and cumbersome checkout forms, empowering them to make purchases effortlessly. Given the checkout complexity, mobile conversion rates are staggeringly low, despite a massive adoption of mobile devices as a shopping tool. Conversion rates on smartphones are a third of those experienced on PCs and constitute the main impediment to the mobile shopping revolution. When consumers purchase from an online retailer for the first time, they typically spend about 10 minutes entering 200-300 keystrokes, a painful process leading to immense consumer frustration and significant revenue loss for retailers and shopping applications. InstaBuy's streamlined user experience offers the ultimate mobile payment solution to boost conversion rates for comparison shopping engines, shopping websites and mobile applications.
"Buying online using a phone is an absolute nightmare. Users must navigate through non-mobile websites and long forms, almost never making their purchase. InstaBuy solves this problem with its universal two-click checkout." said Philippe Suchet, CEO of Zappli. "Ultimately, we want to enable impulse mobile shopping by making the online checkout as simple and fast as the offline one, without requiring retailers to implement anything." Shopping applications, mobile websites and online retailers can easily leverage the InstaBuy mobile payment system to increase consumer satisfaction, conversion rates and revenues.
InstaBuy features
  • Secure speedy checkout service available for shopping applications
  • Dozens of retailers already supported
  • Two-click purchase using single universal account
  • Retailer inventory available in real-time
Shop Instantly, Anywhere
With InstaBuy, users no longer need to pull out their credit card or enter long forms to complete online purchases. When users find products they want on their favorite shopping apps, they only have to enter their password for security and click to confirm the purchase. InstaBuy's technology does the rest, giving users the unique opportunity to buy whatever they want in seconds. This represents an extraordinary opportunity for shopping portals and retailers to convert casual browsers into active buyers.
About Zappli
Zappli, Inc. is a San Francisco-based corporation whose vision is to deliver solutions that tap the power of the web and mobile devices to create seamless shopping experiences for consumers. Its team is backed and managed by serial entrepreneurs and e-commerce/payment experts.

  • The Ten Commandments of Payments

    What people often forget when delivering new payment services is that the execution of the capability is more important that the capability itself. New services are not successful because of the technology they use, or even how they have been marketed. It is much more than it. Ultimately, the successful launch of any new payment service is the sum of many disparate parts. Here are Ten Commandments that businesses and banks can apply to ensure they have all their bases covered.
1. Thou shalt embrace mobile
Mobile is the "Weapon of Mass Disruption" for this decade. It is fundamentally changing the way we research, communicate and behave as consumers. Mobile has become our sixth sense. It is an extension of us. This is why it should be your starting position for any new service. Its richer capabilities open up new opportunities and the inherent constraints of the real estate lead to good design principles.
2. Thou shalt respect the ecosystem
