Fed: Consumers wary of mobile payment security

CreditCards.com By Juan Rodriguez Americans are embracing using cellphones to conduct financial business, says a March 2012 report from the Federal Reserve, "Consumers and Mobile Finance Services." One in five cellphone users accessed a financial account in 2011, and that could rise to one in three by 2013, the report says. The biggest drag on faster adoption: concerns about security. More than 40 percent of the 1,780 people the Fed surveyed said they were concerned about mobile payments' security.

Apple, PayPal Enjoy Unchartered Mobile Payment Legal Issues

Written by Mark Rasch for Storefront Backtalk

Attorney Mark D. Rasch is the former head of the U.S. Justice Department’s computer crime unit and today serves as Director of Cybersecurity and Privacy Consulting at CSC in Virginia.


Last month, Apple contained yet another patent for its iWallet payment system. As Apple tries to position itself as the ultimate payment processor, the competition is heating up for which entity, and which technology, will be responsible for ensuring that retailers get paid. Although these choices may ultimately prove useful for both consumers and retailers, they present new privacy challenges to all participants. As a result, Apple, PayPal and a host of other payment processors may find the need to hire new teams of lawyers to help them comply with the inevitable subpoenas and discovery requests that will befall them.

Lots of money can be made in helping retailers process payments and making it more convenient and easier for consumers to buy things. Apple’s iWallet technology, like many other existing or proposed technologies, is designed to enable consumers to make purchases both online and in brick-and-mortar stores quickly, easily and efficiently.
Under one possible configuration of the technology, a consumer selecting items at retail location would use an NFC-equipped cell phone linked to an iTunes account to purchase those items. The NFC device would communicate with the retailer, authenticate the user and validate purchase. The purchase would then be linked to the consumer’s iTunes account, the same account that person uses to buy music, video and Web applications. Because the iTunes account is linked to a store credit card, the actual financial transaction would be between the consumer’s linked credit card and the retailer

Quad/Graphics and WIRED Magazine Produce America's First NFC-Powered Magazine Ad with Lexus

News 3 new results for NFC Mobile Payment

EON: Enhanced Online News (press release) Quad/Graphics and WIRED Magazine Produce America’s First NFC-Powered Magazine Ad Microchip ad application creates new reader engagement capability using NFC-enabled smartphones April 11, 2012 01:33 PM Eastern Daylight Time  SUSSEX, Wis.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Quad/Graphics, Inc. (NYSE:QUAD) and WIRED have collaborated to produce America’s first mass-produced Near Field Communication (NFC) magazine ad. WIRED’s April issue features an ad with an NFC tag that launches a mobile site when tapped by an NFC-enabled Android smartphone. NFC chips have been used in smartcard and other applications, but the advertisement appearing in 500,000 subscriber copies of WIRED’s April issue marks the first time the fast-emerging chip technology has been used in an American magazine on a mass scale. “Other applications will involve having the reader take a NFC-enabled advertisement or promotion into a store or dealership, where NFC readers and point-of-sale terminals can activate personalized discounts and other offers.” “This is a landmark development in the continued redefinition of print and the ways print can be married to innovative technologies to drive greater reader engagement and response,” says Joel Quadracci, Chairman, President & CEO of Quad/Graphics. “It is appropriate that we have partnered with WIRED and its Condé Nast support team to bring this innovation to market. WIRED is all about the future and how ideas and innovation are changing our world, and we see NFC changing how magazines and their advertisers will interact with readers.” Chris Pryor, Executive Director of Quad/Graphics Media Solutions, says applications of the new technology will ramp up quickly as more NFC-enabled smartphones come onto the market and as advertisers discover how to leverage the unique characteristics of NFC. “We now have the ability to help publishers and their advertisers create interactive and highly personalized campaigns that simply require a reader or recipient to place their smartphone on or near the ad to activate,” Pryor says. “Other applications will involve having the reader take a NFC-enabled advertisement or promotion into a store or dealership, where NFC readers and point-of-sale terminals can activate personalized discounts and other offers.” About Quad/Graphics Quad/Graphics (NYSE: QUAD) is a global provider of print and related multichannel solutions for consumer magazines, special interest publications, catalogs, retail inserts/circulars, direct mail, books, directories, and commercial and specialty products, including in-store signage. Headquartered in Sussex, Wis.

Action Oriented Proximity Marketing Technologies & Platforms: Blending the Online and Offline Marketing Channel With NFC & Barcodes

ePaymentNews 2 new results for NFC Mobile Payment

Sacramento BeeNEW YORK, April 11, 2012 -- /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue: Action Oriented Proximity Marketing Technologies & Platforms: Blending the Online and Offline Marketing Channel With NFC & Barcodes The global market for action oriented proximity based marketing services is expected to reach $2.3 billion by 2016. The market is well established in Japan but is just gaining momentum around the globe. We believe that outside of Japan, this market will reach $1.5 billion in 2016. Action oriented proximity based marketing services enable brands to interact with consumers based on their proximity to a particular physical location or object. Action oriented services also require consumers to perform some sort of action such as scanning a barcode or swiping a NFC tag to launch a web experience or access content. This report takes a comprehensive look at market players, technologies, value chain and strategic differentiators. Revenues and users of proximity marketing applications are forecasted and technologies, opportunities and threats are analyzed. Mobile phone users and application developers are increasingly exploring the capabilities of the smartphone, leading to a gamificaiton of the world where users are interacting with their physical surroundings using their phones. This trend is providing opportunities for marketers to engage users in a very interactive way tailoring messages based on location and relevant personal and contextual data. By activating NFC chips, and scanning barcodes and other emerging technologiesplaced on smart posters, packaging, print publications and point of sale devices, users can engage brands when they are interested in a product. This is much more effective compared to traditional proximity marketing where users opt in to be bombarded with unwanted spam from Bluetooth broadcast systems. Vendors have taken a number of approaches to address this opportunity from providing free point solutions to end-to-end platforms that incorporate proprietary codes and sophisticated analytics. The increased awareness of standard QR codes by consumers is a significant growth driver of proximity marketing strategies. The low cost of QR codes is making it easy for businesses to launch campaigns, flooding the market with QR codes, increasing recognition and scanning by mobile users. While it is easy to create a QR code the resulting web experience is much more difficult, often leading to poor experiences for users, discouraging repeat usage. The opportunity in this market is providing value beyond the creation of codes and scanning applications by including products and services to support quality web experiences and drive ROI for marketers. The ease of creating QR codes and its standardization will allow the technology to dominate the market but the poor experiences behind the codes will provide opportunities for proprietary codes in niche markets. Computer vision and object recognition are important technologies on the horizon with the potential to disrupt the current market. While the technology is not yet ready for prime time, it will enable unique augmented reality experiences and could potentially negate the need for printed codes. With the emergence of proximity marketing, the need to access data inside buildings will grow and increased bandwidth will improve experiences. This trend increases demand for more local networks and small cell technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and femtocells. The ability to easily discover and connect with these networks as well as their ability to work together will help improve user experiences as well as provide opportunities for retailers to affect more control. As users begin to interact with their environment and shop with their mobile phones, brick and mortar retailers risk being disenfranchised as users browse merchandise in stores and go online to make purchases. Retailers need to get in front of this trend and develop proximity marketing strategies to control the experience of the mobile phone user while in their store. The emergence of mobile payments has attracted large players to the proximity marketing space in an effort to gain a position upstream of a mobile payment transaction. With large players such as Google and others bringing to market mobile wallets, competition will be tough. Smaller players need to focus on adding value within their niches and more established vendors need to move fast to gain an influential position in this strategic emerging market.
