ROAM Data Wins ETA Technology Innovation Award for its ROAMpay Application

Roam Data Chooses HomeATM/BBPOS Technology for Secure

Card Present Transactions via Mobile Phones

ROAMpay allows merchants to securely accept credit cards on hundreds of different types of mobile phones…To make transactions even more convenient and secure, ROAM is also delivering ultra low cost card readers compatible across many of its supported devices enabling card present transactions.



 BOSTON, April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- ROAM Data (www.roamdata.com), an industry leader in mobile commerce solutions, announced today that it won the 2010 Technology Innovation Award (TIA) given by the Electronic Transactions Association's (ETA) Annual Meeting & Expo.   The award is given each year to a company whose creative use of technology significantly advances the payments industry as a whole.

"ETA's Awards and Recognition committee in conjunction with the ETA Technology Committee selected ROAM Data's ROAMpay because of its near universal applicability and because it is a market-ready product," said Del Baker, director of marketing for the ETA.

"It is a great honor to win the Technology Innovation Award this year," said Will Graylin, ROAM Data's founder and CEO.  "Our core competence is enabling secure and cost effective transactions between merchants and consumers in the complex mobile environment.  Our device agnostic solution maximizes reach to end-users and keeps them transacting regardless of what phone or carrier they are using now, or switch to later."   ROAM Data's success follows Graylin's other award-winning start-ups in the mobile and payment industry over the past decade.  In fact, Graylin has nurtured four high-tech companies since completing two masters degrees from MIT focused on mobile computing.  

HomeATM/BBPOS' CircleSwipe Technology Chosen by Roam Data

"ROAM Data embodies the forward thinking that is moving the industry to services that follow  merchants, providing greater flexibility to conveniently run their businesses while still maintaining the highest levels of security and confidence," said Chris Justice, president of Ingenico, N.A., a strategic partner with ROAM Data in the U.S.  

ROAM's patented technology enables not only secure POS applications on hundreds of different devices (smart phones, feature phones, PCs, Tablets, etc.), but also custom commerce applications for merchants to empower their mobile sales force/workforce, and even reach their best consumers on their own mobile phones.  To make transactions even more convenient and secure, ROAM is also delivering ultra low cost card readers compatible across many of its supported devices enabling card present transactions.  ROAM plans to deliver more innovations in the mobile commerce arena in the months to come.

With ROAM's patented, device-agnostic platform, companies can reach up to 15 times more mobile users, and update their apps more than 20 times faster when compared to device-specific, static application approach, which require individual programming and certification for every mobile device type and for every application change.

Survey Reveals Massive Incidence of Credit Card Fraud and Identity Theft

According to CreditMan.com, recently completed survey of 1000 commuters in London has found that a tidal wave of credit card fraud and Identity theft is sweeping the UK.



44 % of people said they have suffered from bank or credit card fraud and 42% have had their identity stolen. 



According to researchers from Infosecurity Europe, the number one dedicated Information security event which takes place at Earls Court, London this week, the average amount stolen was £1448 per person,(almost $2000 US) and...ready for this?  



 37% overall did not get their money back from the bank.



Wow...that number seems (approximately) 37% higher than what banks and card companies would have you believe...



...as they continue to tell you it's okay to type a username/ password into a box on the bank's website, (after all, it's SSL encrypted and we all know how safe that "isn't" ...see related articles below) or type your credit/debit cards Primary Account Number (PAN) into boxes on internet retailers websites.



The place that people said that they were most likely to have their details stolen from was, "online via websites" or email with a quarter (27%) saying that this was how they were duped...



So if you are of the mindset that you are financially protected by your bank when you become a victim of card fraud, (which is what will ultimately happen if you continue to "type" your card numbers into a box in a web browser) here are some numbers that will readily blow your mind(set).

Detailed breakdown of size of losses and likelihood of recovery are as follows:



13% of people had more than £5000 stolen with 1 in 10 not getting their money back from the bank



19% of people had between £1,001 to £5,000 stolen with a fifth not getting their money back from the bank



21% of people had between £501 to £1,000 stolen a third not getting their money back from the bank



12% of people had between £100 to £500 stolen with half not getting their money back from the bank



34% of people had less than £100 stolen with 56% not getting their money back from the bank

And the Password is...Swipe!

James Pope of the College of Business Administration, University of Toledo, Ohio, and Dieter Bartmann of the University of Regensburg, Germany, explain that the security of online financial transactions is becoming a problem, especially as security loopholes in login systems and web browsers emerge repeatedly.

Simply logging in with a password looks set to become technically passe.



'Passwords have been widely used because of their simplicity of implementation and use but are now regarded as providing minimal security,' the researchers say.



As repeated scare stories about hacking and identity theft pervade the media, consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about online security.



Further development of e-commerce and banking will be stifled if the issues of fraud and identity theft are not addressed, a University of Toledo release says.



The findings were published in the International Journal of Electronic Marketing and Retailing.

More on the Blippy "Blip"

Last week, Blippy, a Twitter for purchases, created quite a stir when it was revealed that the company had exposedthe credit card numbers of several users.

The company's co-founder, Philip Kaplan, sought to downplay the severity of the mistake but as more and more individuals cozy up to the growing number of services that encourage 'oversharing' of financial-related information online, a number of parties involved with commerce will be affected.

Here's how this could play out.

Credit Card Holders & Issuers

In attempting to reassure Blippy users that the company's faux pas was "a lot less bad than it looks", Blippy co-founder Philip Kaplan wrote:

While we take this very seriously and it is a headache for those involved, it’s important to remember that you’re never responsible if someone uses your credit card without your permission.  That’s why it’s okay to hand your credit card over to waiters, store clerks, and hundreds of other people who all have access to your credit card numbers.

Unfortunately, Kaplan apparently hasn't read a cardholder agreement lately. In practice, credit card issuers rarely hold their cardholders liable for purchases that are truly unauthorized. But that doesn't mean that they can't.
